如望之來。惟以證光。俾我元元。藉以起信。渠非真光。真光之證。惟彼真光。普照生靈。凡生於世。資之以明。

普天之下、血氣之倫、咸將親睹、天主救恩！」

伯鐸祿曰：『各宜悔悟、奉耶穌基督之名受洗、以滌罪愆、以受聖神。

且以右手舉之、使為君王、使為救主、俾以悔悟之心、救拔之恩、賜於義塞之人、並以聖神錫諸信者、

眾先知亦為之證。凡信之者、必得賴其名而獲赦焉。』

予既見之、爰證其為天主之聖子。』

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。』

故予語爾、彼所有諸罪、悉見寬免；以彼之愛深也！惟蒙赦少者、其愛亦淺耳。』乃謂女曰：『爾罪赦矣！』同席者竊議曰：『彼何人斯、乃能赦罪耶！』耶穌復謂女曰：『汝之信德、玉汝於成；其安心以去。』

翌日、如望見耶穌來就。乃曰：『此除免世罪、天主之羔羊也！

出遊約但一帶、傳悛悔之洗、用滌宿穢、

是以爾當悔悟、棄邪歸正用消宿罪庶幾和平安樂之日、萬物同春之時、當可自主而臨；

吾人托庇聖子、仰賴寶血、得蒙拯贖、滌除夙穢；實憑天主之豐恩厚澤。

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！』吾儕承蒙恩上加恩、莫不飽沾其無窮之蘊。蓋摩西所授者律法耳、至妙寵真諦、則由耶穌基督而溥施。

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。』

昔大維亦曾詠嘆不恃事功惟賴恩主而成義者之真福云：『罪而獲赦、過而見宥、福哉斯人、主恩實厚！主不歸罪、真心痛悔、福哉斯人、主恩實大！』

蓋天主使耶穌為贖罪而犧牲、俾信賴其聖血者得蒙赦宥、亦所以彰其正義耳。吾人賴天主之寬容、宿罪全銷、重負頓釋。

『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。

兄弟須知赦罪之道、端賴耶穌而傳。凡摩西律法之所不能使爾稱義者、苟能信賴耶穌、則無在而不稱義矣。
