19 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 Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that 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 Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
Jn 1:19–27.
John the Baptist is a prophet of God.
What he was doing brought the interests of the religious leaders of Israel who sent priests and Levites of the Sanhedrin find out who John was and why he was baptizing his fellow Hebrews.
John quotes Isaiah an Old Testament prophet thus establishing the coming work of God has roots in the Old Testament writings and promises of God to His Chosen people Israel.
Israel's Messiah sent by God TO and FOR Israel at this appointed time to continue the redemption of Israel.
Salvation is of the "Jews."
Salvation is of the LORD.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Jn 1:30–31.
God Promised a Prophet like unto Moses to come from "among thy brethren" (one of the twelve tribes), and John declares Israel's Messiah had come TO and FOR Israel as Promised to His people by God.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Look and see the "Jewishness" of the Gospel of John.
