No Greater Love

The years had passed since the savior

was born and Jesus increased in wisdom

and stature and in favor with God and

man and he came to know the eternal.

Verity of the truth of which there is

only one and which is as follows in the

beginning was the word and the word was

with god and the word was god in him was

life and the life was the light and the.

Word of God came unto John the son of

Zechariah and he came into all the

country about Jordan preaching the

baptism of repentance for the remission

of sins as it was written in the book of

the words of Isaiah the prophet and the

crooked shall be made straight and

enough way shall be made smooth and all

like I'll see the salvation of God

laughter I am one of many gthis come to

learn of your baptism we are abiding

citizen and we revere the laws of Moses

yet why should we stand in need of

baptism that I had o ye generation of

vipers who hath warned you to flee with

all the wrath to come bring forth

therefore fruits worthy of repentance

and begin not to think within my stones

we have Abraham to our Father what I say

unto you that God is able of these

stones raise up children unto Abraham

and now also the axe is laid unto the

root of

every tree therefore which bringeth not

forth good fruit is hewn down and cast

into the fire what shall we do this

either has two coats let him approach to

him who has none and he either has meat

let him do likewise master I and my

brethren are publican we come to be

baptized what shall we do exacts no more

than that which is appointed you master

my cohorts and I our guardians of the

Roman law what shall we do

do viola cut to no man either a choose

any falsely and be content with my wages

I indeed baptize you with water but one

mightier than I come it latchet of whose

shoes I am not worthy to elude and he

shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost

and with fire whose fan is in his hand

and he will thoroughly purge his floor

and he shall gather the wheat into his

goner but the chaff he will burn with

fire and crunchable

now this was in the 15th year of the

reign of Tiberius Caesar Pontius Pilate

being governor of Judea and Herod.

Antipas being Tetrarch of Galilee and.

Herod Antipas was a son of King Herod

the Great who died soon after Jesus was

born Herod had unlawfully taken for his

wife Herodias who was already the wife

of his brother Philip King Herod and.

Herodias made their home in Jerusalem

which was at that time the great city of

the realm

they call him John the Baptist and Healy

defy people Aspray with his teachers

what be he is teaching he tells the

people to repent their sins and prepare

for the coming of one who is in the Son

of God and with rule Israel and all of

the era this is blasphemy and freedom

the man must be mad if he made many

convicts to his preaching III the valley

of Jordan team up with his followers he

has baptized the multitude and they

spread his gospel he is a danger to the

people and in the name of Tiberius he

drew this mad agitator should be

silenced take him prisoner and bring him

to me why wait sign eyes gazing upon the

wretched man I'm not gonna destroy him

with one nay Herodias I wish to hearken

to his sayings before judging him but it

is useless

a man is a traitor and yet he may be

inspired like the prophets of olden

times

go fetch the man but harm him not it

shall be done

generally I spam to you the hours of

hurts when he will appear who cometh

before me who I felt in the Christ know

what sit optela lieth I am not who are

felt in that we may give answer to them

that send us what faith now they tell I

have told ye I am but come to prepare

the way of the Lord

why baptized as well then if thou be not

the Christ nor Elias I have but come to

prepare the way of the Lord and he

cometh whom ye know not

the older of God which taketh away the

sins of the world this is he of whom I

said after me cometh the man which is

preferred before me though of John I.

Jesus aiesec baptism at your hands John

but thou should spec eyes me no John

thou shalt that ties me but Lord suffer

it to be so now it is the will of my

father in heaven his will be done

and a voice came from heaven which said

this is my beloved Son in whom I am well

pleased

and sometime thereafter the soldiers

made John the Baptist captive and

brought him to the court of King Herod

for trial

repent thy sins and be baptized in the

name of the Lord and what would have me

do to be baptized by the men nine evil

ways or else I abandon deny spouse

barrel has taken her to wife who was the

wife of thy brother Philip against the

law of Israel away with her I shall have

thy head fuck

which I promise to desist stirring up my

people if I let thee go free

nay thou person even lose for I baptized

them and lead them on to the path of

righteousness

have him beheaded at once he is a mad

praetor in the danger to thine Kingdom

yes he may be inspired from on high

throw him in a dungeon

and in Chains but spare his life until I
