  [20] But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.

[20] Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

  [19] This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" [20] He confessed, and didn't deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."

Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" [23] He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said." [24] The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
