'Confessed' in the Bible

and he was baptizing them in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

People from the whole Judean countryside and all of Jerusalem were going out to him, and he was baptizing them in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

He confessed -- he did not deny but confessed -- "I am not the Christ!"

(His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
