John 1:19 (WEB)
Context Reading
17For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen God at any time. The only bornSon,who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him. 19This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.” 21They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
