即自如望施洗、至其昇天之日、與我同處之人中、遴選一人、共為耶穌復活之見證。』

就是从约翰施洗起，直到主离开我们被接上升的日子为止，必须从那常与我们作伴的人中立一位与我们同作耶稣复活的见证。”

就是從約翰施洗起，直到主離開我們被接上升的日子為止，必須從那常與我們作伴的人中立一位與我們同作耶穌復活的見證。」

從約翰之施洗起、到主從我們中間被接上升的日子為止，所有同我們來往的這些人中間、必須有一位、同我們作他復活的見證。』

自約翰施洗始、至其別我接昇之日、須於常與我儕偕者、選舉一人、同證其復起也、

自約翰施洗至耶穌升天之日宜更有一人、共證耶穌復生、

自約翰施洗、至其別我升天之日、有常與我偕者、必由其中選一人、可與我儕同證耶穌復活、

beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in telling people that Jesus rose from the dead.”

beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

洎乎其昇天之日是日也、耶穌既憑聖神、遺言於其手選之宗徒、乃昇於天。

然聖神降臨、將賜爾等以神力、而爾等將為予作證、始自耶路撒冷、繼及猶太沙瑪里、終至普天率土、無遠不屆。』諭畢、即當眾目環視之際、攝引昇天、朵雲接之、杳然不能復瞻。

宗徒復藉神力證主耶穌之復活、而眾亦廣沐洪恩、

羅馬皇諦伯略在位之十五年、般雀比辣多方撫猶太；希祿治加利利；厥弟斐理伯治意都勒與達各尼利撒尼治亞比里納；亞納蓋法方司教事；時沙加理子如望在曠野、奉天主諭、出遊約但一帶、傳悛悔之洗、用滌宿穢、正如先知意灑雅書所云：「曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主除道、正直其途；充填空谷、蕩夷山陵；曲者使直陂者使平。普天之下、血氣之倫、咸將親睹、天主救恩！」眾出受洗、如望謂之曰：『蝮類！誰警爾曹以避將臨之怒耶？宜結美果、用副悛悔之心。莫道有亞伯漢為我大父！蓋吾語爾、天主固能化此頑石為亞伯漢之後裔也。今斧斤已加樹根矣、凡不結嘉實之樹、悉將伐而付諸一炬。』眾問曰：『然則如之何而可？』對曰：『有二衣者、當與無衣者共之；有食者亦然。』稅吏至、欲受洗、曰：『夫子、吾當何為？』曰『無索分外。』軍士亦問曰：『吾儕如何？』曰：『毋凌人！毋誣人！安於餉。』民眾私心揣測、疑如望即為期待中之基督。如望對眾曰：『吾第以水洗爾、將有威力超我者來、吾雖為之釋履、亦非所宜稱；渠將洗爾以聖神與靈火、手執颺箕、簸汰場禾、斂麥入倉、而焚芻藁於不息之火。』如望多方勸導民眾、傳布福音；

天主聖子耶穌基督福音之濫觴、正如意灑雅先知書之所記云：『吾遣使者、以先啟行；為爾前驅、備爾行程。』『曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主清道、正直其途。』應乎是、有如望者施洗於曠野、而傳悛悔之洗禮、用滌宿罪。時猶太全境及耶路撒冷居民、相率出謁如望、自承其罪、而受洗於約但河中。如望身被駝毛、腰束革帶、食則蝻蝗野蜜；宣於眾曰：『有一後我而來者、德能遠超我上、吾雖俯而解其履帶、亦有未稱。吾洗爾以水、彼將洗爾以聖神矣。』

況辜負偌大之救恩、其能僥倖於萬一耶？此救恩自始為主所親傳、而親炙之者又為吾人闡述、鑿鑿有據；

於其未臨之前、如望先傳悔悟之洗禮於義塞全族、迨其使命將畢、如望恆曰：「爾等以吾為誰？實非基督；惟有後我來者、吾雖為之解履、猶愧未稱、」

此事之經過、乃在約但河外之伯大尼如望授洗處。翌日、如望見耶穌來就。乃曰：『此除免世罪、天主之羔羊也！予嘗云後我而至、先我而成者、即斯人矣！渠非予所素識、惟予之來茲授洗、正為顯揚斯人於義塞之民耳。』如望又為之作證、曰：『予見聖神作鴿狀、自天而降、棲止其上。予雖未之素識、惟遣予授洗者曾誥予曰：「汝見聖神降臨、止於其身者、是即將以聖神授洗者也。」予既見之、爰證其為天主之聖子。』又次日、如望偕二徒立、見耶穌經過、注視之而告其徒曰：『爾其識之、天主之羔羊也！』二徒聞言、遂從耶穌；耶穌回顧、見其來從、問曰：『何求？』曰：『辣卞何居？』「辣卞」即夫子之謂也。對曰：『來觀。』二徒即往視其居；時已正申、當晚遂同宿。聞如望所言而從耶穌之二徒、其一即為西門、伯鐸祿之兄安得烈。安得烈先遇其弟西門、而告之曰：『吾儕已遇美使。』美使之為言、基督也。遂引西門謁耶穌、耶穌注目視之曰：『汝非若納之子西門乎？此後當稱爾為基法。』「基法」者伯鐸祿也。又次日、耶穌赴加利利、適遇斐理伯、諭之曰：『從予！』斐理伯者、百賽達人、安得烈伯鐸祿之同鄉也。斐理伯遇納大那、告之曰：『摩西書及諸先知所預言者、我儕今已遇之、即若瑟之子、納匝勒人耶穌是已。』納大那曰：『納匝勒焉有良產？』斐理伯曰：『盍來一觀。』耶穌見納大那來訪、指之曰：『此誠義塞人、心無詭譎者！』納大那曰：『汝何由知我？』耶穌曰：『斐理伯未招汝、汝憩於鳳果樹下時、予已見汝、』納大那曰：『辣卞誠天主之子、義塞之君也。』耶穌曰：『予第謂見汝於鳳果樹之下、而汝已起信耶？汝所睹將有大於斯者。』既又謂之曰：『我實語爾、爾曹將見上天洞開、而天主之神使升降於人子之上焉。』

爾等素從予遊、亦當為予作證也。

維時、施洗者如望宣道於猶太曠野中曰：『汝其悔悟、天國伊邇。』先知意灑雅所言：『曠野有人、揚聲而呼；為主備道、正直其途；』即斯人也。如望身披駝毛、腰束革帶、以蝗蟲野蜜為食。時耶路撒冷與猶太全國、以及約但河一帶之居民。群趨如望、自承其罪、而受洗於約但河中。如望見法利塞及撒杜責之徒、亦群來受洗、訓之曰：『蝮種、誰警爾以避將臨之怒耶？務宜進而結實、以副悔悟之心。毋思吾輩有亞伯漢為我祖先；蓋吾語爾、天主全能、即欲化此頑石為亞伯漢之子孫、亦易如反掌耳。方今斧斤已加於樹根、凡不結嘉實之樹、必伐而投諸火中。吾惟以水洗爾、用啟悔悟；然有後我者、威力遠超我上、吾雖為之執履、亦非所宜稱；彼將洗爾於聖神與靈火之中。厥手持箕、簸汰場禾、納麥於倉、而焚芻藁於不熄之火』。時耶穌自加利利至約但、來訪如望、欲受其洗。如望辭曰：『吾當受爾之洗、安可就我乎？』耶穌應曰：『茲姑許之、聊以盡義。』如望乃許之。耶穌甫自水出、諸天倏為洞開、見天主之神、化作鴿狀、降於其身；且有音發自天上曰：『是吾愛子、慰悅我心。』
