約翰之徒歸、耶穌舉約翰示眾曰、爾素出野、欲何觀耶、葦動於風乎、爾出欲何觀耶、人衣美服乎、夫衣美服者、在王宮也、然則爾出、欲何觀耶、先知者乎、誠然、吾語汝、是卓越於先知者、

當時、爾福禧何如耶、我證爾、若得抉目與我、爾必抉之矣、今我以真理告爾、爾乃視我若仇乎、

此子將稱至上者之先知、為主前驅、以備其道、示民知拯救、即在赦罪也、

若云由人、我又畏民、蓋民以約翰為先知也、

由是門徒多有去、不復從之者、

斯時耶路撒冷、猶太、及約但四方咸出、各言已罪、在約但受洗於約翰、約翰見𠵽唎㘔［口撒］吐𡀲人、多就己受洗、謂之曰、蝮類乎、誰示爾避後日之刑乎、

播於磽地者、猶人聽道、即喜受之、惟內無根、則亦暫耳、及為道而遇難窘逐、即厭而棄之、

其至為光作證、使眾以之而信、約翰非光、特為光證耳、

蓋希律知約翰義且聖、有聞頻行、欣然聽受、尊而護之、

在主前彼為大、清酒醇醪不飲、自胎而聖神充之、令以色列人、多轉而歸主、即其上帝焉、彼將為主前驅、以以利亞情性才能、使父慈其子、逆者慕義人之智慧、為主備作新之民

彼既至、坐於爾前、若我民然、聽爾言而不行、口所言則愛爾不置、其心貪婪、

吾語汝、婦之所生、未有先知、大於施洗約翰者、然上帝國之至微、尤大於斯人也、○

我誠告爾、婦之所生、未有大於施洗約翰者、然天國之至微、尤大於是人也、
