John 1:23-31

23He saidG3004, I [am] [the] voiceG5456 of oneG3588 cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, Make straight the pathG3598 of [the] LordG2962, as saidG3004 Esaias the prophetG4396.

24And they wereG1510 sentG649 from among the PhariseesG5330.

25And they askedG2065 him and saidG3004 to him, WhyG5101 baptisest thou then, if thou art not the ChristG5547, nor Elias, nor the prophetG4396?

26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them sayingG3004, I baptise with waterG5204. In the midstG3319 of you standsG2476, whom ye do not know,

27he who comesG2064 after me, the thong of whose sandalG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to unloose.

28These thingsG3778 took placeG1096 in BethanyG963, across the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptising.

29On the morrow he seesG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him, and saysG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of 1GodG2316, who takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889.

30He it isG1510 of whom I saidG3004, A manG435 comesG2064 after me who takes a placeG1096 before me, because he wasG1510 before me;

31and I knew him not; but that he might be manifestedG5319 to IsraelG2474, therefore have I comeG2064 baptising with waterG5204.
