1 In tho daies Joon Baptist cam, and
prechide in the desert of Judee,
2 and
seide, Do &yogh;e penaunce, for the kyngdom
of heuenes shal nei&yogh;e.
3 For this is he, of
-- --
whom it is seid bi Ysaie, the prophete,
seyinge, A vois of a crier in desert, Make
&yogh;e redi the weies of the Lord; make &yogh;e
ri&yogh;t the pathis of hym.
4 And this Joon
hadde clothing of camels heeris, and a
girdil of skynne aboute hise leendis; and
his mete was honysoukis, and hony of
the wode.
5 Thanne Jerusalem wente out
to hym, and al Judee, and al the cuntre
aboute Jordan;
6 and thei weren waischun
of hym in Jordan, `and knowlechiden her
synnes.
7 But he si&yogh; manye of the Farysees
and of Saduceis comynge to his
baptym, and seide to hem, Generaciouns
of eddris, who shewide to &yogh;ou to fle fro
the wraththe that is to come?
8 Therfor
do &yogh;e worthi fruyte of penaunce,
9 and
nyle &yogh;e seie with ynne &yogh;ou, We han Abraham
to fadir; for Y seie to &yogh;ou, that
God is my&yogh;ti to reise vp of these stoones
the sones of Abraham.
10 And now the ax
is put to the roote of the tree; therfore
euery tree that makith not good fruyt,
shal be kit doun, and shal be cast in to
the fier.
11 Y waische &yogh;ou in water, in to
penaunce; but he that shal come after me
is strongere than Y, whos schoon Y am
not worthi to bere; he shal baptise &yogh;ou in
the Hooli Goost and fier.
12 Whos wynewing
cloth is in his hoond, and he shal
fulli clense his corn flore, and shal gadere
his whete in to his berne; but the chaffe
he shal brenne with fier that mai not be
quenchid.
13 Thanne Jhesus cam fro Galilee
in to Jordan to Joon, to be baptised
of hym.
14 And Joon forbede him, and
seide, Y owe to be baptisid of thee, and
thou comest to me?
15 But Jhesus answeride,
and seide to hym, Suffre nowe, for
thus it fallith to vs to fulfille al ri&yogh;tfulnesse.
-- --
16 Thanne Joon suffride hym. And
whanne Jhesus was baptisid, anoon he
wente up fro the watir; and lo! heuenes
weren openyd to hym, and he saie the
Spirit of God comynge doun as a dowue,
and comynge on hym; and loo!
17 a vois
fro heuenes, seiynge, This is my louyd
sone, in which Y haue plesid to me.
