And Iohn calling vnto him two of his disciples, sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or looke we for another?

When the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or looke we for another?

And in that same houre hee cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of euill spirits, and vnto many that were blind, he gaue sight.

But what went ye out for to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and much more then a Prophet.

This is he of whome it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

For I say vnto you, among those that are borne of women, there is not a greater Prophet then Iohn the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.

But the Pharisees and Lawyers reiected the counsell of God against themselues, being not baptized of him.
