John 1:23-25

New Matthew Bible

²³ He said, I am the voice of a crier in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord! as the prophet Isaiah said.

²⁴ And those who were sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said to him, Why do you baptize then, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?
