Who are you John?
John Chapter 1
|
1:19
|
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
|
|
|
|
1:20
|
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
|
|
|
|
1:21
|
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
|
|
|
|
1:22
|
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
|
|
|
|
1:23
|
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
|
|
|
|
1:24
|
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
|
|
|
|
1:25
|
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
|
|
|
|
1:26
|
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
|
|
|
|
1:27
|
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
|
|
|
|
1:28
|
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
