John [Yah is gracious] 1:23-27

²³He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah Master Yahweh,’ as Isaiah Salvation of Yah the prophet said.”

²⁴The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees Separated.

²⁵They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah Anointed one, nor Elijah My God Yah, nor the prophet?”

²⁶John Yah is gracious answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

²⁷He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
