mkjv - John:1:19-28

mkjv@John:1:19 @ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?

mkjv@John:1:20 @ And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, I am not the Christ.

mkjv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.

mkjv@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, Who are you so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say of yourself?

mkjv@John:1:23 @ He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.

mkjv@John:1:24 @ And they who were sent were from the Pharisees.

mkjv@John:1:25 @ And they asked him and said, Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor that Prophet?

mkjv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but One stands among you whom you do not know.

mkjv@John:1:27 @ He it is who, coming after me, who has been before me; of whom I am not worthy to loosen the thong of His sandal.

mkjv@John:1:28 @ These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
