John 1:20-22

The Voice

John the Baptist: ²⁰ I’m not the Anointed One, if that is what you are asking.

Religious Leaders: ²¹ Your words sound familiar, like a prophet’s. Is that how we should address you? Are you the Prophet Elijah?

John the Baptist: No, I am not Elijah.

Religious Leaders: Are you the Prophet Moses told us would come?

John the Baptist: No.

Religious Leaders: ²² Then tell us who you are and what you are about because everyone is asking us, especially the Pharisees, and we must prepare an answer.
