John 1:20-28

20He did not refuse to confessG3670G2532G3756G720, butG2532 openly declaredG3670, “IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547.”

21“ThenG3767 whoG5101 are you?” they inquiredG2065G846. “AreG1510 youG4771 ElijahG2243?”

He saidG3004, “I amG1510 notG3756.”

“AreG1510 youG4771 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

He answeredG611, “NoG3756.”

22SoG3767 they saidG2036 to himG846, “WhoG5101 are youG1510? We needG2443G1325 an answerG612 for thoseG3588 who sentG3992 usG1473. WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?”

23John repliedG5346 inG2531 the words ofG2036 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396:

“IG1473 am a voiceG5456 of one callingG994 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048,‘Make straightG2116 theG3588 wayG3598 for the LordG2962.’”1

24ThenG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 who had been sentG649G1510G1537 25askedG2065 himG846, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 do you baptizeG907, ifG1487 youG4771 areG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

26“IG1473 baptizeG907 withG17222 waterG5204,” JohnG2491 repliedG611G846G3004, “but amongG3319 youG4771 standsG2476 One youG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492. 27He is the One whoG3588 comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473, theG3588 strapsG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalsG5266 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 untieG3089.”

28All thisG3778 happenedG1096 atG1722 BethanyG963 beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptizingG907.
