Original text and translations

Latin text Beátus Joánnes locútus est ad túrbas, dícens éis: Ego baptízo in áqua: médius áutem véstrum stétit, quem vos néscitis. Ipse est qui post me ventúrus est, qui ánte me fáctus est: cújus égo non sum dígnus ut sólvam éjus corrígiam calceamínti. Ipse baptizábit vos in Spíritu Sáncto.

English translation Blessed John spoke to the crowd, saying to them: I baptize you in water: but in the midst of you stands one whom you do not know. He is the one to come after me, who was made before me: Of him I am not worthy to untie the lace of his shoe. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
