Third Sunday of Advent – JN 1:6-8, 19-28 <\/b>
\nA man named John was sent from God.
\nHe came for testimony, to testify to the light,
\nso that all might believe through him.
\nHe was not the light,
\nbut came to testify to the light.<\/p>\n

And this is the testimony of John.
\nWhen the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests
\nand Levites to him
\nto ask him, \u201cWho are you?\u201d
\nHe admitted and did not deny it,
\nbut admitted, \u201cI am not the Christ.\u201d
\nSo they asked him,
\n\u201cWhat are you then? Are you Elijah?\u201d
\nAnd he said, \u201cI am not.\u201d
\n\u201cAre you the Prophet?\u201d
\nHe answered, \u201cNo.\u201d
\nSo they said to him,
\n\u201cWho are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
\nWhat do you have to say for yourself?\u201d
\nHe said:
\n\u201cI am the voice of one crying out in the desert,
\n\u2018make straight the way of the Lord,\u2019\u201d<\/em>
\nas Isaiah the prophet said.\u201d
\nSome Pharisees were also sent.
\nThey asked him,
\n\u201cWhy then do you baptize
\nif you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?\u201d
\nJohn answered them,
\n\u201cI baptize with water;
\nbut there is one among you whom you do not recognize,
\nthe one who is coming after me,
\nwhose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.\u201d
\nThis happened in Bethany across the Jordan,
\nwhere John was baptizing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
