John 1:19-25
-
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
-
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
-
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
-
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
-
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
-
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
-
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
