And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who art thou?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 And they asked him, “What then? Art thou Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Art thou that (the) Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
22 Then said they unto him, “Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?”
23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,”’ as said the prophet Isaiah.”
I ask christians who is that Prophet which Jews were so eagerly to ask about.
It cannot be Jesus because he is already mentioned as "christ"
