Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ So they came to John and told him, “Rabbi,^(A) the one you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan,^(B) is baptizing—and everyone is going to him.”^(C)

²⁷ John responded, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,^(D) but I’ve been sent ahead of him.’^(E)
