John 1:20-22

New International Version

²⁰ He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”^(A)

²¹ They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”^(B)

He said, “I am not.”

“Are you the Prophet?”^(C)

He answered, “No.”

²² Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
