\\nJohn 1:19-28 (ESV)
\\nThe Testimony of John the Baptist
\\n19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, \\u201cWho are you?\\u201d20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, \\u201cI am not the Christ.\\u201d 21 And they asked him, \\u201cWhat then? Are you Elijah?\\u201d He said, \\u201cI am not.\\u201d \\u201cAre you the Prophet?\\u201d And he answered, \\u201cNo.\\u201d 22 So they said to him, \\u201cWho are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?\\u201d 23 He said, \\u201cI am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, \\u2018Make straight the way of the Lord,\\u2019 as the prophet Isaiah said.\\u201d
\\n24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, \\u201cThen why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?\\u201d 26 John answered them, \\u201cI baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.\\u201d 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
