The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why did you not then believe him?
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom do you think that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to untie.
