John

And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?

For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.

Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.

For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.

Nowe Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he douted, because that it was sayd of some, that Iohn was risen againe from the dead:

Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him.

They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe.

And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.

The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.

The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?

But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.

Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.

Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?

Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.

The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.

So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,

The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.

Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.

And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.

Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.

And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.

Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
