John 1:21 CPDV

¹⁹  And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, 'Who are you?'

²⁰  And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: 'I am not the Christ.'

²¹  And they questioned him: 'Then what are you? Are you Elijah?' And he said, 'I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' And he answered, 'No.'

²²  Therefore, they said to him: 'Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?'

²³  He said, 'I am a voice crying out in the desert, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' just as the prophet Isaiah said.'
