Luke 3:15

And, as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he himself were the Christ,

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

Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before Him.'

The Jews, therefore, came round about Him, and said to Him, "How long dost Thou hold us in suspense? If Thou art the Christ, tell us plainly."
