John 1:19-28 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked him, What then, Art thou Elijah? ²² And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they to him, Who art thou? That we may give an answer to them that sent us. ²³ What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you whom ye know not. ²⁷ He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things were done in Bethabara, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
