Luke 3:15

And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,

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

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

Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
