[19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
\n[20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
\n[21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
\n[22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
\n[23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
\n[24] And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
\n[25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
\n[26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
