Luke 3:15

And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, lest perhaps he was the Christ,

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

You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.

Then the Jews encircled Him and said to Him, How long do you make us doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.
