John 1:21-30 And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? and he answered, No.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? and he answered, No. ²² Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self? ²³ and he said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," according to Esaias the prophet. ²⁴ Now they that were sent, were of the pharisees: ²⁵ and they asked him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor a prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ that cometh after me, but is preferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things passed at Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The next day John seeth Jesus coming towards him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me.
