John 1:19-22 ▼

19 This is John’s testimony when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “ Who are you? ”

20 He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “ I am not the Messiah.”

21 “ What then ? ” they asked him. “ Are you Elijah? ”“ I am not,” he said.“ Are you the Prophet? ”“ No,” he answered.

22 “ Who are you, then ? ” they asked. “ We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself? ”
