John 1:25-28

25They said to John, ‘You say that you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet. So why do you baptize people?’

26John replied, ‘I baptize people with water. But there is someone here among you that you do not know.

27He is the one who comes after me. I am not good enough even to undo his shoes for him.’

28All these things happened at a place east from the Jordan River. It was a village called Bethany. John was baptizing people there.
