19 This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him, 20 Who art thou? and he confessed and denied not, and confessed that, I am not the Christ. 21 They asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Art thou that prophet? 22 And he responded, No. Then they said to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those having sent us. What do you say concerning yourself? 23 I am the voice of one roaring in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord as Isaiah the prophet said. 24 And those having been sent were of the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said to him, Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor that prophet? 26 John responded to them, saying, I baptize with water: There standeth One in your midst whom you do not know, 27 the One coming after me, of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the latchet of His sandal. 28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
