THE beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Sonne of God. 2 As it is written in the Prophets: Behold, I send my Messenger be∣fore thy face, which shall prepare thy way be∣fore thee. 3 The voice of one in the Wildernesse, Pre∣pare yee the way of the Lord, make his paths streight. | NOW in the fif∣teenth yeere of Ti∣berius a Caesar,b Pontiusc Pilate be∣in Governour of Judea, and Herod being Te∣trarch of Galilee, & his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the Region of Trachoni∣tis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abylene, | |
IN those dayes came John the Baptist preaching in the wilder∣nesse of Judea. 2 And saying, Re∣pent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 3. For this is hee that was spoken of by the Pro∣phet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make bis paths streight. 4 And the same John had hisf rayment of Camels haire, and a leatherng girdle about his loins, and his meat wash Locusts, and wild i honey. | 4 John did baptize in the Wildernesse, and preach the Baptisme of repentance for the remis∣sion of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him, in the river of Jordan, con∣fessing their sins. 6 And John was clo∣thed with Camels haire, and with a girdle of skin about his loins; & he did eat locusts & wild honey. | 2d Annas and Caiaphas being the High Priests, the word of God came unto John the Sonne of Zacharias in the wildernesse. 3 And hee came into all the Countrey about Jordan, preaching the Baptisme of repentance, for the remission of sins. 4 As it is written in the Booke of the words of Esaias the Prophet, say∣ing, e The voice of one crying in the wilder∣nes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths streight. |
