John 1:19-28

1
Chapter 1
19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 He confessed and did not deny, and he confessed, "I am not the Christ." 21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No." 22 They said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.” 24 Messengers had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 And they questioned him and said to him, "What then? Do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" 26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. In your midst has stood one whom you do not know.” 27 the one coming behind me, whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of his sandal. 28 These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
