John 1:25-28

25And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

26John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

27he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

28These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
