John 1:19-21

New Matthew Bible

¹⁹ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? ²⁰ He acknowledged, and did not deny but said plainly, I am not the Christ.

²¹ And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah?

And he said, I am not.

Are you a prophet?

And he answered, No.
