John 1:25 In-Context

23 John said, "I'm a voice crying out in the desert, 'Make the way for the Lord straight,' as the prophet Isaiah said."

24 Some of those who had been sent were Pharisees.

25 They asked John, "Why do you baptize if you're not the Messiah or Elijah or the prophet?"

26 John answered them, "I baptize with water. Someone you don't know is standing among you.

27 He's the one who comes after me. I am not worthy to untie his sandal strap."
