Philip Schaff

“ I am John, the last of the prophets, who made the paths of the Son of God straight, [2] and proclaimed to the people repentance for the remission of sins. [3] And the Son of God came to me; and I, seeing Him a long way off, said to the people: Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. ”

“ On this account I say to you all, in order that when you see Him you all may adore Him, that now only is for you the time of repentance for having adored idols in the vain upper world, and for the sins you have committed, and that this is impossible at any other time. ”
