John 1:25

25 "If you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet, why do you baptize people?"

John 1:25 In-Context

23 John told them in the words of the prophet Isaiah: "I am the voice of one calling out in the desert: 'Make the road straight for the Lord.'"

24 Some Pharisees who had been sent asked John:

25 "If you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet, why do you baptize people?"

26 John answered, "I baptize with water, but there is one here with you that you don't know about.

27 He is the One who comes after me. I am not good enough to untie the strings of his sandals."
