Luke 3:15

And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ,

And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?

Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man.

The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, When do thou lift up our soul? If thou are the Christ, tell us plainly.
