1:19	And this is the Testimony of John, when the Jews out of Jerusalem sent Priests and Levites to him so that they might ask him, ... "Who are you?"
1:20	And he confessed and did not deny. And he confessed that, "I not am the Christ."
1:21	And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elias"? ... And he says, "I am not."
	"Are you The Prophet"? ... And he answered, "No."
1:22	Then they said to him, "Who are you?"
	"So that we may give an answer to the ones having sent us."
	"What do you say about yourself?"
1:23	He said, "I, a voice crying in the wilderness."
	"Make straight the way of the Lord," as said Isaiah the Prophet.
1:24	And the ones having been sent were of the Pharisees.
1:25	And they asked him, and said to him, ... "Why then do you baptize, ...
	if you are not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the Prophet?"
1:26	The John answered them saying, ... "I baptize in water."
	"Among you has stood one whom you do not recognize, ..."
1:27	"the One coming after me, of whom I am not worthy, ..."
	"that I should loosen of him the thong of the sandal."
1:28	These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was baptizing.
