由是先知之預言、更為確定、爾宜常顧之、如燈照於暗處、待日始旦、明星照耀爾心、或作因此我儕更當以先知之預言為確定此預言如燈照暗處爾若顧之待爾心中如日始旦晨星出現此乃為美

約翰門徒去後、耶穌舉約翰語眾曰、爾昔出野、欲何觀耶、觀葦動於風乎、爾出、欲何觀耶、觀人衣美服乎、夫衣美服者、在王宮也、然則爾出、欲何觀耶、觀先知乎、我誠告爾、彼大於先知、

爾當時之福安在、我證爾、當時爾若能為、即抉目予我、亦必為之、我以真理告爾、乃成爾之仇乎、

惟汝嬰兒、必稱為至上者之先知、因爾將為主前驅、以備其路、示其民知拯救、即其罪之得赦、

若云自人、我又懼眾、蓋眾皆以約翰為先知、

自是門徒中多有去而不復從之者、

斯時耶路撒冷、猶太徧境、及約但一帶之人、咸出就之、各認己罪、在約但受洗於約翰、約翰見法利賽與撒度該教人、亦多就己受洗、謂之曰、蝮類乎、誰示爾避將來之怒乎、

播於磽地者、指人聽道、即喜受之、惟內無根、亦祇暫時、迨為道而遇難窘逐、即躓蹶矣、

彼來作證、即為光作證、使眾因之而信、約翰非其光、特為光作證

蓋希律知約翰為人義且聖、故畏而護之、聞其言多所遵行、且喜聽其訓、

彼在主前將為大、酒與凡醉人者不飲、自母胎而聖神充之、使以色列多人轉而歸主、即其天主、彼將以以利亞之神志才能、為主前驅、使為父者心慈其子、背逆者慕義人智慧、為主備歸誠之民、

彼就爾來、若民之會集、坐於爾前、如為我民、聽爾言而不行、口言親愛、心向利欲、

我告爾、凡婦之所生、未有大於施洗約翰者、然在天主之國、至小者猶大於斯人也、

我誠告爾、凡婦之所生、未有大於施洗約翰、然在天國至小者猶大於彼、
