Dec 15, 2022. Gospel John 1:19-28. Feria of Advent.

[19]And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou? Et hoc est testimonium Joannis, quando miserunt Judaei ab Jerosolymis sacerdotes et Levitas ad eum ut interrogarent eum : Tu quis es? [20] And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ. Et confessus est, et non negavit, et confessus est : Quia non sum ego Christus. [21] And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. Et interrogaverunt eum : Quid ergo? Elias es tu? Et dixit : Non sum. Propheta es tu? Et respondit : Non. [22] They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself? Dixerunt ergo ei : Quis es ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos? quid dicis de teipso? [23] He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. Ait : Ego vox clamantis in deserto : Dirigite viam Domini, sicut dixit Isaias propheta. [24] And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees. Et qui missi fuerant, erant ex pharisaeis. [25] And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? Et interrogaverunt eum, et dixerunt ei : Quid ergo baptizas, si tu non es Christus, neque Elias, neque propheta? [26] John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. Respondit eis Joannes, dicens : Ego baptizo in aqua : medius autem vestrum stetit, quem vos nescitis. [27] The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. Ipse est qui post me venturus est, qui ante me factus est : cujus ego non sum dignus ut solvam ejus corrigiam calceamenti. [28] These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Haec in Bethania facta sunt trans Jordanem, ubi erat Joannes baptizans. Music:  Agnus Dei. X.
