John 1:19-21

New Testament for Everyone

The evidence of John

¹⁹ This is the evidence John gave, when the Judaeans sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

²⁰ He was quite open about it; he didn’t try to deny it. He said, quite openly, “I am not the Messiah.”

²¹ “What then?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?”

“No, I’m not,” he replied.

“Are you the Prophet?”

“No.”
