John 1:23 in Context — John 1
21 Et ils lui demandèrent: Quoi donc? Es-tu Élie? Et il dit: Je ne le suis point. Es-tu le prophète? Et il répondit: Non.
22 Ils lui dirent alors: Qui es-tu? Afin que nous donnions une réponse à ceux qui nous ont envoyés. Que dis-tu de toi-même?
23 Moi, dit-il, je suis la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Aplanissez le chemin du Seigneur, comme a dit Ésaïe, le prophète.
24 Ceux qui avaient été envoyés étaient des pharisiens.
25 Ils lui firent encore cette question: Pourquoi donc baptises-tu, si tu n’es pas le Christ, ni Élie, ni le prophète?
