John 1:25-28

Living_Oracles(i) 25 And they questioned him further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? 26 John answered, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not. 27 It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose. 28 This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
