²⁹The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.

³⁰This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I

³¹and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water.

³²And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him

³³and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost.

³⁴And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God.

³⁵The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples.

³⁷And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus.
