John 1:19 In-Context

17 for although the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God. The One and Only Son- the One who is at the Father's side- He has revealed Him.

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

20 He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: "I am not the Messiah."

21 "What then?" they asked him. "Are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
