葆樂曰：『然則所受何洗？』曰『如望之洗。』

處事切忌因循、事主何妨熱烈。

乃曰：『夫子、吾知爾正直無私、不徇人情、惟天主之道是傳。敢問納稅於凱撒、理乎？

依爾好生德。領回遊蕩子。示彼何所歸。指彼何所履。佑彼謙誠者。克己而復禮。

隨葆樂後而呼曰：『是為至尊天主之僕、以拯救之道授爾眾。』

樂只君子。心地純潔。

猶太人嘗自耶路撒冷遣司祭與理味數人、來問如望曰：『爾是誰耶？』如望當為之證、坦白不諱而告之曰：『予非基督。』曰：『然則爾為伊理藹乎？』曰：『非也。』曰：『子殆先知乎？』曰：『否。』曰：『爾究為誰、請明以見告、俾吾儕有以復命。』如望對曰：『予即先知意灑雅所言：「野中呼者之聲、告眾修直主道」者是。』使者為法利塞黨人、爰又問曰：『爾既非基督、又非伊理藹、亦非先知、則胡為授洗耶？』如望答曰：『予惟以水授洗、第有先我而成、後我而至者、其人立於爾曹之中、而爾曹不之識、吾雖為之釋履帶、亦非所稱也。』此事之經過、乃在約但河外之伯大尼如望授洗處。翌日、如望見耶穌來就。乃曰：『此除免世罪、天主之羔羊也！予嘗云後我而至、先我而成者、即斯人矣！渠非予所素識、惟予之來茲授洗、正為顯揚斯人於義塞之民耳。』如望又為之作證、曰：『予見聖神作鴿狀、自天而降、棲止其上。予雖未之素識、惟遣予授洗者曾誥予曰：「汝見聖神降臨、止於其身者、是即將以聖神授洗者也。」予既見之、爰證其為天主之聖子。』又次日、如望偕二徒立、見耶穌經過、注視之而告其徒曰：『爾其識之、天主之羔羊也！』

吾人之所宣揚者、基督也；所以勸人教人、啟人智慧者、亦基督也。務使人人托基督而成完人、俾得獻之於天主之前、此吾所為不辭勞苦一恃天主施於我躬之神力、而奮鬥者也。

惟尚有人頑梗難化、終不之信、且當眾詆毀聖道；葆樂捨之、並命信徒亦與之絕；而日於諦郎尼書院辯難析疑。

維時、施洗者如望宣道於猶太曠野中曰：『汝其悔悟、天國伊邇。』先知意灑雅所言：『曠野有人、揚聲而呼；為主備道、正直其途；』即斯人也。如望身披駝毛、腰束革帶、以蝗蟲野蜜為食。時耶路撒冷與猶太全國、以及約但河一帶之居民。群趨如望、自承其罪、而受洗於約但河中。如望見法利塞及撒杜責之徒、亦群來受洗、訓之曰：『蝮種、誰警爾以避將臨之怒耶？務宜進而結實、以副悔悟之心。毋思吾輩有亞伯漢為我祖先；蓋吾語爾、天主全能、即欲化此頑石為亞伯漢之子孫、亦易如反掌耳。方今斧斤已加於樹根、凡不結嘉實之樹、必伐而投諸火中。吾惟以水洗爾、用啟悔悟；然有後我者、威力遠超我上、吾雖為之執履、亦非所宜稱；彼將洗爾於聖神與靈火之中。厥手持箕、簸汰場禾、納麥於倉、而焚芻藁於不熄之火』。時耶穌自加利利至約但、來訪如望、欲受其洗。如望辭曰：『吾當受爾之洗、安可就我乎？』耶穌應曰：『茲姑許之、聊以盡義。』如望乃許之。耶穌甫自水出、諸天倏為洞開、見天主之神、化作鴿狀、降於其身；且有音發自天上曰：『是吾愛子、慰悅我心。』

求行文大馬士革各會堂、遇有此道中人、不論男女、盡縛解耶路撒冷。

爾等應彼此認罪、互為祈求、俾得全復。善人之祈禱、厥效甚大。

夫從軍者、欲得其長官之獎許、必專心一志、不以雜務自累。

其時、為斯道故、掀起軒然大波。

眾與稅吏、咸受洗於如望、聞其言莫不稱頌天主至德；

『詭譎奸惡、備爾一身、魔鬼之子、百善之仇、混淆主之正道、伊于胡底！

『曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主清道、正直其途。』

羅馬皇諦伯略在位之十五年、般雀比辣多方撫猶太；希祿治加利利；厥弟斐理伯治意都勒與達各尼利撒尼治亞比里納；亞納蓋法方司教事；時沙加理子如望在曠野、奉天主諭、出遊約但一帶、傳悛悔之洗、用滌宿穢、正如先知意灑雅書所云：「曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主除道、正直其途；充填空谷、蕩夷山陵；曲者使直陂者使平。普天之下、血氣之倫、咸將親睹、天主救恩！」眾出受洗、如望謂之曰：『蝮類！誰警爾曹以避將臨之怒耶？宜結美果、用副悛悔之心。莫道有亞伯漢為我大父！蓋吾語爾、天主固能化此頑石為亞伯漢之後裔也。今斧斤已加樹根矣、凡不結嘉實之樹、悉將伐而付諸一炬。』眾問曰：『然則如之何而可？』對曰：『有二衣者、當與無衣者共之；有食者亦然。』稅吏至、欲受洗、曰：『夫子、吾當何為？』曰『無索分外。』軍士亦問曰：『吾儕如何？』曰：『毋凌人！毋誣人！安於餉。』民眾私心揣測、疑如望即為期待中之基督。如望對眾曰：『吾第以水洗爾、將有威力超我者來、吾雖為之釋履、亦非所宜稱；渠將洗爾以聖神與靈火、手執颺箕、簸汰場禾、斂麥入倉、而焚芻藁於不息之火。』如望多方勸導民眾、傳布福音；而分封王希祿以弟婦黑落娣事及所行諸惡、見責於如望；於是惡上加惡、下如望於獄。民眾方受洗、耶穌亦來受洗、祈禱時、天倏洞開、聖神化作鴿狀、降臨於其身、有音發自天上曰：『汝乃吾愛子、吾心所欣悅。』耶穌開始傳道時、年甫三十許；人以其為若瑟之子也。若瑟乃赫理之子、其上瑪達、其上理味、其上義而基、其上亞乃、其上約瑟、其上瑪大第亞、其上亞莫斯、其上納洪、其上赫斯利、其上那格、其上瑪哈、其上瑪大第亞、其上塞梅、其上約瑟、其上樹德、其上若亞納、其上勒撒、其上佐洛巴伯、其上撒拉德、其上內里、其上美而基、其上亞第、其上葛山、其上藹而瑪當、其上海爾、其上葉素、其上伊理塞、其上若林、其上瑪達、其上理味、其上西默翁、其上樹德、其上約瑟、其上若難、其上愛理亞金、其上美來亞、其上門納、其上瑪大德、其上那丹、其上大維、其上葉瑟、其上阿伯德、其上保和、其上沙爾孟、其上乃松、其上阿米納大、其上亞達門、其上亞郎、其上耶士倫、其上法來斯、其上樹德、其上雅谷伯、其上依灑格、其上亞伯漢、其上德樂、其上乃高、其上沙祿、其上賴鰲、其上法來格、其上赫伯、其上灑辣、其上愷南、其上阿兒拂雪、其上鮮謨、其上諾亞、其上藍陌、其上瑪牘撒理、其上藹諾、其上雅肋、其上馬辣理、其上加衣納、其上恩諾、其上塞德、其上亞當、亞當者天主所造也。
