John
1: 19-23
This is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests
and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And
he confessed, and denied not, and said plainly, I am
not the Christ. And
they asked him, What art thou then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.
Art thou the prophet? And he answered,
No. Then said they unto him, What art thou? that we may give an answer
to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
And he said, I am the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet
Isaias.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest
thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but
there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me,
whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
These things were done in Bethany
beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
