Can I get some help interpreting this christening record from Denmark?

I'm looking at Niels, the 6th one down on the right side. I can mostly read it, but want to make sure I don't miss any details here as I'm trying to prove who the family of the mother were from the witnesses listed.
It says born in Knudstrup, which is part of the parish of Alsted where the christening took place. Parents are Jens Hansen and Sidse Larsdatter. I think it says that the child was carried by Marie Larsdatter, wife of Truels Hansen? I think witnesses are Truels Hansen, Lars Sorensen, Claus Johansen, and Jens Nielsen. Any details it gives about these individuals?

It's always helpful to share what info you have or are considering. We can look at the sources and evaluate them. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L465-LCN You have attached a christening with parents.

Thanks, yes that is the mother in the FamilySearch tree that I am trying to prove the parents for. I should have included that also.

If I'm understanding the record correctly, I think that this christening record is the last piece I needed. I have the christening record of a Sidse Larsdatter that is the daughter of Lars Sorensen that is born in the right area. I wanted to make sure it's the same Sidse Larsdatter that married Jens Hansen. On this christening record of the son of Sidse Larsdatter and Jens Hansen, Lars Sorensen is one of the witnesses. Another witness is Marie Larsdatter, and Lars Sorensen had a Marie as well as a Sidse, so this Marie is likely Sidse's sister.

Yes, the witnesses match up nicely. If you wanted to try finding a probate of Lars naming his children that would be a good source.

Thanks, I appreciate getting a second opinion. Unfortunately for the estate they lived on, there is a 20 year gap in the probate records. : ( So I can't do it with a probate record on this one.

The marriage record of Sidse Larsdatter and Jens Hansen lists witnesses as Lars Hansen and Truels Hansen, which is why I was questioning whether the father of Sidse was really Lars Sorensen. Truels Hansen is a witness for the first two children born to the couple. I think he's the husband of Marie Larsdatter, sister of Sidse. If I'm getting it right.
