John:1:19-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And this is the record of John ,
when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him ,
Who are you ?
*
And he confessed ,
and denied not ;
but confessed ,
I am not the Christ .
*
And they asked him ,
What then ?
Are you Elijah ?
And he says ,
I am not .
Are you that prophet ?
And he answered ,
No .
*
Then said they unto him ,
Who are you ?
that we may give an answer to them that sent us .
What say you of yourself ?
*
He said ,
I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness ,
Make straight the way of the Lord ,
as said the prophet Isaiah .
*
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees .
*
And they asked him ,
and said unto him ,
Why do you baptize then ,
if you be not that Christ ,
nor Elijah ,
neither that prophet ?
*
John answered them ,
saying ,
I baptize with water :
but there stands one among you ,
whom you 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 the Jordan ,
where John was baptizing .
