John 1:24-28 ▼

24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,

25 and they questioned him and said to him, “Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

26 John answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in the midst of you has stood He whom you have not known, it is this One who is coming after me, who has been before me,

27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”

28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
