John 1:22-24

New Testament for Everyone

²² “Well, then, who are you?” they said. “We’ve got to take some kind of answer back to the people who sent us. Who do you claim to be?”

²³ “I’m a voice calling in the desert,” he said, “ ‘Straighten out the road for the master!’ ”—just as the prophet Isaiah said.

²⁴ The people who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
