The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah.

你們自己可以為我作證：我曾說，我不是基督，不過是奉差遣作他的先鋒的。娶新娘的是新郎。新郎的好友站在那裡聽著，聽見新郎的聲音就非常喜樂。因此，我這喜樂滿溢了！

以下是約翰的見證：猶太人從耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人到約翰那裡，問他：“你是誰？”約翰並不否認，坦白地承認說：“我不是基督。”他們又問：“那麼你是誰？是以利亞嗎？”他說：“我不是。”“是那位先知嗎？”他回答：“不是。”於是他們再問：“你是誰？好讓我們回覆派我們來的人。你說你自己是誰？”他說：“我就是在曠野呼喊者的聲音：‘修直主的路！’正如以賽亞先知所說的。”這些人是法利賽人派來的。他們問約翰：“你既然不是基督，不是以利亞，也不是那位先知，那麼你為甚麼施洗呢？”約翰回答：“我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你們中間，是你們不認識的；他是在我以後來的，我就是給他解鞋帶也不配。”這些事發生在約旦河東的伯大尼，約翰施洗的地方。
