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 that Prophet?
And he answered, no
Then said they unto him
What art thou?
That we may give an answer unto them that sent us
What say'st thou of thyself?
And he said
I am the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness
Make straight the way of the Lord
