John 1:24

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

John 1:24 In-Context

22 dixerunt ergo ei quis es ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos quid dicis de te ipso

23 ait ego vox clamantis in deserto dirigite viam Domini sicut dixit Esaias propheta

24 et qui missi fuerant erant ex Pharisaeis

25 et interrogaverunt eum et dixerunt ei quid ergo baptizas si tu non es Christus neque Helias neque propheta
