John 1:26 BBE

²⁴  Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

²⁵  And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?

²⁶  John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

²⁷  It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

²⁸  These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
