John 1:26 In-Context

24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
