This
is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him: Who art thou? And he confessed and denied not, and
said plainly: I am not the Christ. And they asked him: What art thou
then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And
he answered: no. then said they unto him: What art thou? That we may
give and answer unto them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? And
he said: I am the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: Make
straight the way of the Lord. (John 19-23)
