John 1:25-28

MLV(i) 25 And they asked him, and said to him, Therefore why do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but one is standing in your midst whom you do not know. 27 It is he who is coming after me, who has become before me. I am not worthy that I should loose the strap of his shoes. 28 These things happened in Bethany beyond-that area of the Jordan, where John was immersing.
