Luke 3:15

And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.

The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
