The Third Sunday in Advent The Gospel John 1. 19-28. Saturday Meditation: A Plaine Path-way To Heaven Thomas Hill 1634
John 1. 19-28 GOSPEL
At that time the Jews sent from Jerusalem
priests and Levites to John, to ask him:
Who art thou? And he confessed, and did
not deny; and he confessed: I am not the
Christ. And they asked him: What then?
Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art
thou the Prophet? And he answered: No.
They said therefore unto him: Who art
thou, that we may give an answer to them
that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
He said: I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the way of the
Lord, as said the Prophet Isaias. And they
that were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they asked him, and said to him: Why
then dost thou baptize; if thou be not
Christ, nor Elias, nor the Prophet? John
answered them, saying: I baptize with
water: but there hath stood one in the
midst of you, whom you know not. The
same is He that shall come after me, who is
preferred before me: the latchet of whose
shoe I am not worthy to loose. These
things were done in Bethania, beyond the
Jordan, where John was baptizing.
