John 1:22-30

John 1:22-30 CSB

“Who are you, then? ” they asked. “We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself? ” He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord   ,  #— #just as Isaiah  the prophet said.” Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.  So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet? ” “I baptize with  water,”  John answered them. “Someone stands among you, but you don’t know him. He is the one coming after me,  , whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.” All this happened in Bethany  across the Jordan,  where John was baptizing. The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,  who takes away the sin  of the world! This is the one I told you about: ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
