20 John confessed (he didn't deny but confessed), "I'm not the Christ."

John 1:20 In-Context

18 No one has ever seen God. God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made God known.

19 This is John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

20 John confessed (he didn't deny but confessed), "I'm not the Christ."

21 They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" John said, "I'm not." "Are you the prophet?" John answered, "No."

22 They asked, "Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
