John the Baptist’s Testimony

¹⁹ This is John’s testimony when the Jews from Jerusalem^(A) sent priests^(B) and Levites^(C) to ask him, “Who are you?”

²⁰ He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”^(D)

²¹ “What then?” they asked him. “Are you Elijah?”^(E)

“I am not,” he said.

“Are you the Prophet?”^[a](F)

“No,” he answered.
