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?” 23 He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord—just as Isaiah the prophet said.” John 1:19-23, Holman Christian Standard Bible.
