John 1:20

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
