夫我洗爾以水、俾爾改悔、但後我來者、尤勝於我、即攜其履、我亦弗堪、彼將洗爾以聖神及火焉、

夫我以水施洗、俾爾悔改、但後我來者、更勝於我、其履我亦不堪提、彼將以聖神及火施洗爾、

“ I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

“ I baptize you with water, calling you to turn away from your sins. But after me, someone is coming who is more powerful than I am. I’m not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

“ I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

蓋如望所用以施洗者水耳、而爾等不日將受聖神之洗矣。』

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、

忽有聲來自天上、若大風之驟至、充乎全室；復見火光𦧡𦧡如舌、分降人頂；眾遂飽受聖神、各依聖神所賦、而道異國方言。

予甫開言、聖神臨之、一如當日之臨吾儕也。予乃憶主之言曰：「如望以水施洗、而爾等將受聖神之洗焉。」

故無論猶太人也、希臘人也、主也奴也、皆洗於一神、融為一體、且共汲同一之活泉焉。

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。』

自承其罪、而受洗於約但河中。

不視人之行為、一惟彼之仁愛、藉重生之洗禮、賜吾人以救拔；

葆樂曰：『如望所施、乃悔改洗禮、明言當信後彼來者：即耶穌是已。』

如望答曰：『予惟以水授洗、第有先我而成、後我而至者、其人立於爾曹之中、而爾曹不之識、吾雖為之釋履帶、亦非所稱也。』

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。』

以伊理藹之風度神力為主前驅、必使為父者之心歸向兒女、而頑強之子服膺長者之智、為主作育心悅誠服之新民。』

同時如望亦在沙冷左近之衡農授洗、其地多泉水、故人紛來授洗。時如望尚未入獄、厥徒與猶太人論及洗禮、頗起爭辯、因共謁如望曰：『夫子曩在約但河外、所為作證者、今亦授洗、人盡趨之。』如望應曰：『苟非自天授之、人亦何所受乎？予非基督、乃奉使為其前驅者耳。此乃予所夙言、爾曹當可為予作證。夫人娶婦而為新壻、新壻之友立而待之、聞其音則洋洋而喜。今者吾樂之沛然充溢、亦復如是。彼當日益、我宜日損。蓋臨自上者、居萬眾之上；本乎地者、不超乎地、而所言亦不出地上之事。惟降自天者、則超軼乎萬有之上。彼所證者、皆屬親見親聞、而眾獨不納其證。苟有納其證者、是即印證天主之真實無妄。天主所遣者、傳天主之訓、以天主賦以聖神、無有限量故、聖父篤愛聖子、已將一切授諸其手矣。信仰聖子者、獲永生；不順聖子者、無以望生、天主譴怒、恆臨其身。』

幼輩亦當順服長老。彼此之間、皆當以謙德自束。應知天主損傲益謙；

爾中凡已領洗而歸依基督者、實已服膺基督、有如衣之被體焉。故無論猶太人也、希臘人也、奴也主也、男也女也、悉在基督耶穌之身、融為一體矣。

應乎是、有如望者施洗於曠野、而傳悛悔之洗禮、用滌宿罪。

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、」

耶穌遂與偕往、及距宅不遠、百夫長遣諸友趨前代陳曰：『主毋勞駕！主入敝廬、非所敢當！因此予亦不敢冒昧進謁。願賜一言、吾僕必愈。

予嘗云後我而至、先我而成者、即斯人矣！

夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、

出遊約但一帶、傳悛悔之洗、用滌宿穢、

如望揚聲為之作證曰：『予向所言：「有一後我而來、居我之上、原在我先」者、即斯人矣！』
