John 1:23-27

²³He said, I am a voice of a crier or a voice of a man crying in desert, Dress ye the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet, said.

²⁴And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.

²⁵And they asked him, and said to him, What then baptizest thou, if thou art not Christ, neither Elijah, neither a prophet?

²⁶John answered to them, and said, I baptize in water, but in the middle of you hath stand or stood one, that ye know not;

²⁷he it is, that shall come after me, that was made before me, of whom I am not worthy to loosen the thong of his shoe.
