John 1:23-30
1:23 John said, “I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
1:24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
1:25 So they asked John, “Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
1:26 John answered them, “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,
1:27 who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!”
1:28 These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.
1:29 On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
1:30 This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’
John 1:34
1:34 I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God.”
John 3:28
3:28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’
but rather, ‘I have been sent before him.’
