* And this is the record of John , when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him , Who art thou ? * And he confessed , and denied not ; but confessed , I am not the Christ . * And they asked him , What then ? Art thou Elias ? And he saith , I am not . Art thou that prophet And he answered , No . * Then said they unto him , Who art thou ? that we may give an answer to them that sent us . 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 Esaias . * And they which were sent were of the Pharisees . * And they asked him , and said unto him , Why baptizest thou then , if thou be not that Christ , nor Elias , neither that prophet ? * John answered them , saying , I baptize with water : but there standeth one among you , whom ye know not ; * He it is , who coming after me is preferred before me , whose shoe 's latchet I am not worthy to unloose . * These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan , where John was baptizing .
