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.| John 1:19-23, New English Translation.
