John 1:19-22

19And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?

20And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.

21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

22They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
