萬軍之耶和華曰、我遣我使備路於我前、爾所求之主、必忽臨厥殿、盟約之使、爾所慕者、將至矣、

彼將為大、稱為至上者之子、主上帝以其祖大衛之位予之、

如先知以賽亞所載云、我遣我使在爾前、以修爾路、有呼於野者、其聲云、備主路、直其徑、

有聲呼云、在於曠野、備耶和華之道、在於荒墟、治我上帝之徑、諸谷填之、山阜卑之、崎嶇平之、坎坷治之、耶和華將顯其榮、凡有血氣者、皆得見之、耶和華口言之矣、

希律欲殺之、而懼眾、因眾以之為先知也、

然則爾出何為也、觀先知乎、是也、我語汝、且卓越於先知也、此即經所謂、我遣我使先爾、以備爾路者、

此乃先知以賽亞所言者、曰、有呼於野者、其聲云、備主路、直其徑、

若云自人、則又畏民、蓋皆以約翰為先知也、

隨保羅及我儕、呼曰、斯人乃至高上帝僕、以拯救之道宣於爾曹、

曰我乃呼於野者之聲云、直主之路、如先知以賽亞所言也、

天使曰、聖神將臨爾、至上者之能將庇爾、是以所生者稱聖、為上帝子、

惟爾當愛爾敵、而善待之、貸於人而不絕望、則爾賞大矣、且爾將為至上者之子、蓋彼施仁於辜恩及不善者矣、

若云自人、則我畏眾、蓋皆以約翰為先知也、

論郇必曰、此也彼也、生於其中、至高者必親堅斯邑兮、

在耶和華大而可畏之日未至以先、我必遣先知以利亞詣爾、

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、

爾曹證之、我曾言我非基督、乃奉遣於其前耳、

此即經所謂、我遣我使先爾、以備爾路者也、我語汝、婦之所生、未有大於約翰者、然在上帝國之微者、猶大於彼也、

如先知以賽亞之書所載云、有呼於野者、其聲曰、備主路、直其徑、諸谷填之、山阜卑之、屈曲直之、崎嶇之路平之、凡有血氣者、將見上帝之拯救也、○

於其未至之前、約翰先宣改悔之洗禮於以色列民、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、

即後我而來、我解其履帶、亦弗堪焉、

將使以色列多人、轉而歸主、即其上帝也、彼將以以利亞之性與能、行於主前、使為父者之心、轉向其子、逆者從義者之智、為主備適宜之民、
