以下是约翰的见证。那时候，耶路撒冷的那些犹太人派了一些祭司和利未人到约翰那里去问他：“你是谁？”他就承认，并毫不否认地告白：“我不是基督。”他们又问：“那么你是谁呢？是以利亚吗？”他说：“我不是。”“是那位先知吗？”他回答：“不是。”于是他们问：“你到底是谁？好让我们给那些派我们来的人一个答复。你自己说，你是什么人？”约翰说：“正如先知以赛亚所说的，我就是在旷野里呼喊的声音：‘你们当修直主的道。’”那些被派来的人属于法利赛人，他们又问约翰：“你既不是基督，又不是以利亚，也不是那位先知，那么，你为什么施洗呢？”约翰回答说：“我用水施洗，但有一位站在你们中间，是你们不认识的，他是那在我之后来的，我就是为他解鞋带也不配。”这些事发生在约旦河对岸的伯大尼，就是约翰施洗的地方。
