John 1:22-27
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
22So they said to him, "Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" 23He said, "I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said."
24(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26John answered them, "I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know,
27even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
