John 1:25

and they asked him, "Why do you baptize if you are not the Anointed One (Messiah), Elijah, or the Prophet?"
[There were many types of purification baptisms in Jesus' time. Before a pilgrim entered the temple, a purification bath was required. The priests also had daily ritual purification baptisms. Unlike these recurring baptisms, the baptism of proselytes is perhaps the most significant. A Gentile who converted to Judaism was baptized in water. When John now calls on Jews to repent and be baptized, he equates these Jews with Gentiles, in need of repentance.]
