And he spake also concerning a prophet
who should come before the Messiah,
to prepare the way of the Lord—
Yea, even he should go forth
and cry in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
and make his paths straight;
for there standeth one among you
whom ye know not;
and he is mightier than I,
whose shoe’s latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.
And much spake my father
concerning this thing.
And my father said he should baptize
the Messiah with water.
And after he had
baptized the Messiah with water,
he should behold and bear record that
he had baptized the Lamb of God,
who should take away the sins of the world.
