先是、希祿為弟婦黑落娣事、執如望、繫以縲絏、下之獄。

先是希祿以娶弟斐立妻黑落娣故、囚如望於獄。

耶穌既聞如望被逮、乃退至加利利。

時有如望之徒晉謁曰：『吾儕及法利塞人恆齋、爾徒獨不齋何也？』

主既悉法利塞人已有耶穌授洗招徒、多於如望之說、

當亞波羅在格林多時、葆樂經高原而至依法所、遇數徒、問之曰：『爾奉教後曾受聖神否？』答曰：『否、且未聞有聖神也。』葆樂曰：『然則所受何洗？』曰『如望之洗。』

而分封王希祿以弟婦黑落娣事及所行諸惡、見責於如望；

計自亞伯漢至大維、凡十四代；自大維至徙巴比倫時、亦十四代；自徙巴比倫至基利斯督、又十四代。

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。

如望弟子、以諸事報之。如望乃召二弟子、使往詢耶穌曰：『汝其為將臨者乎？抑吾人別有所待耶？』二人至、叩耶穌曰：『施洗者如望、遣我問汝、汝其為將臨者、抑吾人別有所待？』其時耶穌正治病療疾、祛魔啟盲、乃謂二人曰：『爾曹即以所見所聞、回報可也：盲者明矣、跛者行矣、癩者潔矣、聾者聰矣、死者起矣、而窮苦無告者得聆嘉音。凡不予疑怪者、福哉斯人！』如望使徒既返、耶穌向眾論如望曰：『曩者爾赴曠野、欲何睹乎？其飄搖風中之蘆葦乎？爾之去也、果欲何睹？將身被錦繡者乎？被華服而酖晏樂者、惟宮中有焉。然則爾之去也、將欲睹先知乎？予曰是矣、然不僅先知而已也。經云：「予遣使爾前、為爾備道、」即斯人也！予實語爾、婦女所生、未有大於如望者也。然天主國中之至小者、視彼猶大。眾與稅吏、咸受洗於如望、聞其言莫不稱頌天主至德；惟法利塞與律學士輩、獨不受其洗、是亦辜負天主之宏謨而已矣。』『夫斯代之人、予將何以擬之、彼亦何所似乎？譬諸童子坐於市井而相呼曰：「我吹笛、爾未舞！我悲歌、爾不哭！」蓋施洗如望之來也、不食餅、不飲酒、而爾則曰：『伊中魔矣！』人子之來也、食焉飲焉、而爾則曰：「盍視彼人、饕餮也、酒徒也、稅吏罪人之友也。」是惟智德之子、能識智德之蘊耳。』
