| [1]In those dayes, came Iohn the Baptist, preachyng in the wyldernesse of Iurie, and saying |
[1]IN those days came John the Baptist; and he was preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, |
| [2]Repent, for the kingdome of heauen is at hande |
[2]Saying, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is near. |
| [3]For this is he, of whom it is spoken by the prophete Esayas, saying. The voyce of one crying in the wyldernesse: prepare ye the way of the Lorde, make his pathes strayght |
[3]For it was he of whom it was said by the prophet Isaiah, The voice which cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, and straighten his highways. |
| [4]This Iohn had his rayment of Camels heere, and a girdle of a skynne about his loynes, his meate was locustes, and wylde hony |
[4]Now the same John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had leathern belts around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. |
| [5]Then went out to hym Hierusalem, and all Iurie, and all the region rounde about Iordane |
[5]Then there went out to him, Jerusalem and all of Judaea, and the whole country around Jordan. |
| [6]And were baptized of hym in Iordane, confessyng their sinnes |
[6]And they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, as they confessed their sins. |
| [7]But when he sawe many of the Pharisees, and Saducees come to his baptisme, he sayde vnto them. O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the anger to come |
[7]But when he saw a great many of the Pharisees and Sadducees who were coming to be baptized, he said to them, O offspring of scorpions, who has warned you to escape from the anger which is to come? |
| [8]Bryng foorth therefore fruites meete for repentaunce |
[8]Bring forth therefore fruits which are worthy of repentance; |
| [9]And be not of suche mynde, that ye woulde say within your selues, we haue Abraham to [our] father. For I say vnto you, that God is able, of these stones to rayse vp chyldren vnto Abraham |
[9]And do not think and say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I say to you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones. |
| [10]Euen now is the axe also put vnto the roote of the trees: therefore, euery tree which bryngeth not foorth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire |
[10]Behold, the axe is already placed at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree which bears not good fruits shall be cut down and dropped in the fire. |
| [11]I baptize you in water vnto repentaunce: But he that shall come after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare, he shall baptize you with the holy ghost, and with fire |
[11]I am just baptizing you with water for repentance; but he who is coming after me is greater than I, the one even whose shoes I am not worthy to remove; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. |
| [12]Whose fanne is in his hande, and he wyll purge his floore, and gather his wheate into [his] garner: but wyl burne vp the chaffe with vnquencheable fire |
[12]Whose shovel is in his hand, and he purifies his threshings; the wheat he gathers into his barns, and the straw he burns up in the unquenchable fire. |
| [13]Then commeth Iesus from Galilee to Iordane, vnto Iohn, to be baptized of hym |
[13]Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. |
| [14]But Iohn forbad hym, saying. I haue nede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me |
[14]But John tried to stop him, and said, I need to be baptized by you, and yet have you come to me? |
| [15]Iesus aunsweryng, sayde vnto hym: Suffer it to be so nowe. For thus it becommeth vs, to fulfyll all righteousnes. Then he suffred hym |
[15]But Jesus answered and said to him, Permit now, for this is necessary for us so that all righteousness may be fulfilled; and then he permitted him. |
| [16]And Iesus, when he was baptized, came strayghtwaye out of the water, and loe the heauens was open vnto hym, and (Iohn) sawe the spirite of God descendyng lyke a doue, and lyghtyng vpon hym |
[16]When Jesus was baptized, he immediately came out of the water; and the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him; |
| [17]And loe, there (came) a voyce from the heauens, saying: This is my beloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased |
[17]And behold, a voice from heaven, which said, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am pleased. |
