14 Bible Verses about Who Is John The Baptist?

In those days John the Baptist appeared, and kept preaching in the desert of Judea,

Now this is the testimony which John gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem, to ask him, "Who are you?"

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us, so that we can have an answer to give to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

Now while the people were on tiptoe in their expectations, and they were all arguing in their hearts about John whether he was himself the Christ,

He frankly admitted, and did not try at all to deny it; yes, he frankly admitted, "I am not the Christ."

You can bear testimony to me yourselves that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent as His announcer.'

As John was closing his career, he said, 'What do you take me to be? I am not the Christ; no, but He is coming after me, and I am not fit to untie the shoes on His feet.'

So they asked him again, "What are you then? Elijah?" And he answered, "Of course, I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

and if you are willing to accept it, John himself is the Elijah who was to come.

But I say to you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but treated him as they pleased. Just so the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and people treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."

He was not the light; he came to testify to the light.

This is the man of whom the Scripture says, "'Attention! I am sending my messenger on before you; He will prepare the road ahead of you.'

so they asked him, "Why are you baptizing then, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"
