John 1:19-25

Diaglott(i) 19 And this is the testimony of the John, when sent the Jews from Jerusalem priests and levites, that they might ask him: Thou who art? 20 And he confessed and not denied; and confessed: That not am I the Anointed. 21 And they asked him: What thou? Elias art thou? And he says: Not I am. The prophet art thou? And he answered: No. 22 They said then to him: Who art thou? that an answer we may give to those having sent us; what sayest thou about thyself? 23 He said: I: A voice crying in the desert; Make you straight the way of a lord, as said Esaias the prophet. 24 And those having been sent were of the Pharisees; 25 and they asked him, and said to him: Why then dippest thou, if thou not art the Anointed, nor Elias, nor a prophet?
