21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you (A)the Prophet?”

(C)‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’
as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 John answered them, saying, (D)“I baptize with water, (E)but there stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 (F)It is He who, coming after me, [a]is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 These things were done (G)in [b]Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”(B)
He answered, “No.”

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)
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,(H) where John was baptizing.
John Testifies About Jesus
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,(I) who takes away the sin of the world!(J) 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’(K)
