迨畢其職、曰、爾意我為誰、我非其人也、有後我來者、即解其履、我亦弗堪、

约翰快走完他的人生路程时，说：‘你们以为我是谁？我不是；但是有一位在我以后来的，我就是解他脚上的鞋带也不配。’

约翰快走完他的人生路程时，说：‘你们以为我是谁？我不是；但是有一位在我以后来的，我就是解他脚上的鞋带也不配。’

约翰在工作快要完成的时候说，‘你们以为我是谁？我不是基督。在我之后来的那位，我连给祂解鞋带也不配。’

约翰快要跑完他的路程的时候，说：‘你们以为我是谁？我不是基督。他是在我以后来的，我就是给他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’

当约翰快要跑尽该跑的路程时，说：‘你们认为我是谁？我不是那一位。看哪，他要在我以后来，我就是为他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’

約翰將卒事、曰、爾以我為誰、我非基督、有後我來者、其履我不堪解、

約翰職事將竣、曰、爾曹意我為誰、我非基督、彼後我而來、其足之履、我亦不堪解、

迨其使命將畢、如望恆曰：「爾等以吾為誰？實非基督；惟有後我來者、吾雖為之解履、猶愧未稱、」

As John was completing his work, he said:‘ Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

John was coming to the end of his work.‘ Who do you suppose I am?’ he said.‘ I am not the one you are looking for. But there is someone coming after me. I am not good enough to untie his sandals.’

And as John was finishing his course, he said,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

As John was finishing his ministry he asked,‘ Do you think I am the Messiah? No, I am not! But he is coming soon— and I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the sandals on his feet.’

Now as John was completing his mission, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But one is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.’

And while John was completing his course, he kept saying,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

And as John was finishing his course, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

Then as John was completing his life’s work, he said,‘ Who do you think I am? I am not the One. But look! Someone is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on His feet.’

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not[ he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of[ his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

But while John was completing his mission, he said repeatedly,‘ What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!’

As John was fulfilling his course, he said,‘ What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

夫我洗爾以水、俾爾改悔、但後我來者、尤勝於我、即攜其履、我亦弗堪、彼將洗爾以聖神及火焉、

宣言曰、有後我來者、尤勝於我、即屈身解其履帶、我亦弗堪、

然我不以己生為意、而貴之、惟欲盡我程途、及由主耶穌所授之職、以證上帝恩惠之福音、

約翰曰、我以水施洗耳、有立於爾中、爾弗識者、即後我而來、我解其履帶、亦弗堪焉、

約翰承而不諱、曰、我非基督、曰、然則爾為以利亞乎、曰非也、爾為彼先知乎、曰否、曰、爾為誰、俾我可復遣我者、爾自謂何如也、曰我乃呼於野者之聲云、直主之路、如先知以賽亞所言也、

民方冀望、人皆心議約翰或即基督、約翰謂眾曰、我洗爾以水、有勝於我者來、即解其履帶、我亦弗堪、彼將洗爾以聖神及火、

耶穌曰、行遣我者之旨、而畢其工、即我之糧也、

我儕所宣非己、乃基督耶穌為主、己則緣耶穌為爾僕耳、

翌日、約翰見耶穌來、則曰、觀上帝之羔、乃負世之罪者、

我已戰善戰、盡程途、守主道、

見耶穌遊行、則曰、觀上帝之羔、

其證既畢、自淵而上之獸、將與之戰、勝而殺之、

耶穌知諸事既成、致驗經言、乃曰、我渴矣、在彼有器、滿盛以醯、或以海絨浸之、束於牛膝莖、遞至其口、耶穌受醯、曰、成矣、遂俯首歸其靈焉、○

保羅曰、約翰施改悔之洗、謂民當信後己而來者、即耶穌也、

約翰曰、非由天授、人則無所能受、爾曹證之、我曾言我非基督、乃奉遣於其前耳、娶新婦者、新郎也、新郎之友立而聽之、聞其聲則喜甚、故此、我喜滿盈矣、

我見之、而證其為上帝子也、○

惟希律則曰、我所斬之約翰起矣、初希律遣人執約翰繫獄、為其弟腓力妻希羅底故、蓋希律已娶之、約翰曾謂之曰、納弟妻非宜也、於是希羅底怨之、欲殺之而弗得、因希律敬畏約翰、知其義且聖、而庇之、聞其言、心多猶豫、而喜聽之、會逢其適、希律於誕辰設筵、宴諸大夫千夫長及加利利之尊者、希羅底之女入舞、以娛希律及同筵者、王謂之曰、凡爾所欲、求則予之、又矢之曰、爾所求、即國之半、我亦予之、女退、謂母曰、我當何求、曰、施洗約翰之首、女亟入見王、求曰、我欲施洗約翰首、即置盤中予我、王憂甚、然以矢故、又以同筵者在、不欲拒之、乃命侍衛一人、取約翰首、遂斬之於獄、置首於盤、以予女、女以予母、

由己言者、求己之榮、惟求遣之者之榮、斯人乃誠、其衷無不義也、

夫大衛在其世、行上帝之旨、既寢、歸其列祖而朽壞、
