καὶ ὡμολόγησεν καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο καὶ ὡμολόγησεν ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ Ἐγὼ ὁ Χριστός
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
αὐτοὶ ὑμεῖς μοι μαρτυρεῖτε ὅτι εἶπον Οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὁ Χριστός ἀλλ' ὅτι Ἀπεσταλμένος εἰμὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐκείνου
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
εἶπεν δὲ Παῦλος Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν βάπτισμα μετανοίας τῷ λαῷ λέγων εἰς τὸν ἐρχόμενον μετ' αὐτὸν ἵνα πιστεύσωσιν τοῦτ' ἔστιν εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
