| 19 | And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" | The Testimony of John the Baptist Jn.1.19-28 (Bethabara-Bethany?) | Mt.3.1-12 | Mk.1.1-8 | Lk.3.1-9 | Καὶ αὑτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Ἰωάννου, ὅτε ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐξ Ἱεροσολύμων ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευίτας ἵνα ἐρωτήσωσιν αὐτόν, Σὺ τίς εἶ; |
| 20 | He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." | καὶ ὡμολόγησεν καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο, καὶ ὡμολόγησεν ὅτι Ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ὁ Χριστός. | |
| 21 | And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No." | καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν, Τί οὖν; σύ Ἠλίας εἶ; καὶ λέγει, Οὐκ εἰμί. Ὁ προφήτης εἶ σύ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη, Οὐ. | |
| 22 | They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" | εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ, Τίς εἶ; ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς· τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ; | |
| 23 | He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said." | - I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness Jn.1.23 | Is.40.3 | ἐφη, Ἐγὼ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, |
| 24 | Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. | Καὶ ἀπεσταλμένοι ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων. | |
| 25 | They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" | καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Τί οὖν βαπτίζεις εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς οὐδὲ Ἠλίας οὐδὲ ὁ προφήτης; | |
| 26 | JOHN answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know, | ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων, Ἐγὼ βαπτίζω ἐν ὑδατι· μέσος ὑμῶν ἑστηκεν ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἰδατε, | |
| 27 | even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." | ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἄξιος ἵνα λύσω αὐτοῦ τὸν ἱμάντα τοῦ ὑποδήματος. | |
| 28 | This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. | Ταῦτα ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐγένετο πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὁπου ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων. | |
