你们自己可以为我做见证，我说过我不是基督，我只是奉差在祂前面预备道路的。娶新娘的是新郎，站在旁边的朋友听见新郎的声音，就会欢喜快乐。因此，我现在也心满意足了。

以下是约翰的见证。犹太人从耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人来找约翰，查问他是谁。约翰毫不隐瞒地说：“我不是基督。”他们问：“那么，你是谁？是以利亚吗？”他说：“不是。”他们又问：“你是那位先知吗？”他说：“也不是。”他们又追问：“你到底是谁？我们好回复差我们来的人。你自己说你是谁？”他说：“我就是在旷野大声呼喊‘修直主的路’的那个人，正如以赛亚先知所言。”派来的人当中有几个法利赛人，他们问他：“你既然不是基督，不是以利亚，也不是那位先知，那你为什么给人施洗呢？”约翰答道：“我是用水施洗，但在你们中间有一位你们不认识的，祂虽然是在我以后来的，我就是给祂解鞋带也不配。”这事发生在约旦河东岸的伯大尼，那里是约翰给人施洗的地方。
