And he answered, No. ²² Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we might give answer to them having sent us. What sayest thou for thyself? ²³ He said, I the voice of him crying in the desert, Make ye straight the way of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. ²⁴ And they having been sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him, Why immersest thou then, if thou art not Christ, neither Elias, neither a prophet? ²⁶ John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ This is he coming after me, who was before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loose the strings of his shoes. ²⁸ These things were in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was immersing. ²⁹ In the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, be taking away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me: for he was before me.
