21 And they asked him, “What then? (A)Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you (B)the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am (C)the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight[a] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, (D)“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, (E)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even (F)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.

23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness,(C) ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[a](D)
