nkjv - John:1:19-28

nkjv@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nkjv@John:1:20 @ He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

nkjv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

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

nkjv@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."

nkjv@John:1:24 @ Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:1:25 @ And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

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

nkjv@John:1:27 @ It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose."

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