John
1
19
Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20
He confessed - he did not deny but confessed - "I am not the Christ!"
21
So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No!"
22
Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23
John said, "I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25
So they asked John, "Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26
John answered them, "I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,
27
who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!"
28
These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.
