NASB | John 1:21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the [promised] Prophet?" And he answered, "No." [Deut 18:15, 18; Mal 4:5] |
Bible Question: Jesus is known as our Prophet, our crucified King, and our High Priest. I capitalize these words because I believe that Jesus was God in the flesh and is now our High Priest. What do you think? How do you perceive Him? See John 4:19,29; 6:14, Luke 24:19 |
Bible Answer: Blessings Ray! John 1:21 states "Prophet" in the NASB, NKJV and Amplified. In fact, the Amplified states it this way: "They asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not! Are you the Prophet? And he answered, No! [Deut. 18:15,18; Mal. 4:5.]" Clearly by capitalizing 'Prophet', we see that the priests and Levites are referring to the Messiah when they ask John the Baptist this question.. Even the NIV and HCSB capitalize Prophet here, thus signifying that there is no dispute just how this word in John 1:21 should be presented. Ray, do you have any insights here? Blessings, Nolan! (sorry Ray, I didn't see your question!) |
