Bible Question:
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! |
Bible Answer: Sorry Ray! I did not see your question in time.. Blessings! Nolan |
