John 1:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ The Jewish leaders^[a] sent priests and assistant priests from Jerusalem to ask John whether he claimed to be the Messiah.

²⁰ He denied it flatly. “I am not the Christ,” he said.

²¹ “Well then, who are you?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?”

“No,” he replied.

“Are you the Prophet?”^[b]

“No.”
