Yahaya 1:23-27

²³Yace, “Ni murya ne, da ke kira cikin jeji, 'Ku daidaita hanyar Ubangiji,' kamar yadda annabi Ishaya ya fada.”

²⁴Su wadanda aka aika daga wurin Farisawa suke. Sai suka tambaye shi cewa,

²⁵“To don me kake baftisma idan kai ba Almasihu bane, ko Iliya, ko annabin?”.

²⁶Yahaya ya amsa masu, cewa, “Ina baftisma ne da ruwa. Amma a cikinku akwai wani tsaye wanda ba ku sani ba,

²⁷shi wanda ke zuwa bayana, wanda ko igiyar takalminsa ban isa in kwance ba.”
