19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."
22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
25 They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 This happened in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on Him.
33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
