Luke 3:15

And the people awaiting, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he may not be the Christ;

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

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

Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech.
