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 in Bethabara, beyond Jordan;
and he also said he should baptize with water;
even that he should baptize the Messiah with water.
