19 And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
21 And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
22 And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
27 he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
