Yochanan 1:22

22 They said then to him, Mi atah? That we may give a teshuvah (answer) to the ones who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

Yochanan 1:22 In-Context

20 Yochanan made hoda’a (confession, admission)?he did not fail to make hoda’a?and said clearly, I am not the [Rebbe,] Melech HaMoshiach.

21 And they asked Yochanan, What, then? Are you Eliyahu HaNavi? And Yochanan says, I am not. Are you the Navi? (DEVARIM 18:15,18) And he answered, Lo (No).

22 They said then to him, Mi atah? That we may give a teshuvah (answer) to the ones who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

23 Yochanan said, I am a KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR, make straight the DERECH HASHEM! (YESHAYAH 40:3, TARGUM HASHIVIM), as Yeshayah HaNavi said.

24 And the ones that had been sent were of the Perushim.
