22ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “WhoG5101 are you, soG2443 that we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to thoseG3588 who sentG3992 us? WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?” 23He saidG5346, “I am 1a voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘MakeG2116 straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962,’ as IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 saidG3004.”

24NowG2532 they had beenG1510 sentG649 from the PhariseesG5330. 25They askedG2065 him, and saidG3004 to him, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 are you baptizingG907, ifG1487 you are not the 2ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 3the ProphetG4396?” 26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them sayingG3004, “4I baptizeG907 5in waterG5204, but amongG3319 you standsG4739 One whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 27It is 6He who comesG2064 afterG3694 me, the 7thongG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to untieG3089.” 28TheseG3778 thingsG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 in BethanyG963 8beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 was baptizingG907.
