John 1:24-28

English Standard Version

²⁴ (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) ²⁵ They asked him, ^(A)“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” ²⁶ John answered them, ^(B)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, ²⁷ even ^(C)he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
