John 1:26

26 John answered, "I only baptize using water. A person you don't recognize has taken his stand in your midst.

John 1:26 In-Context

24 Those sent to question him were from the Pharisee party.

25 Now they had a question of their own: "If you're neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet, why do you baptize?"

26 John answered, "I only baptize using water. A person you don't recognize has taken his stand in your midst.

27 He comes after me, but he is not in second place to me. I'm not even worthy to hold his coat for him."

28 These conversations took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing at the time.
