John 1:22

22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

John 1:22 In-Context

20 And he confessed--and he did not deny, and confessed--"I am not the Christ!"

21 And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"

23 He said, "I [am] 'the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," ' just as Isaiah the prophet said."

24 (And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
