Contextual Overview
19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? 20 And he confessed and did not deny it; but he declared, I am not the Christ. 21 Then they asked him again, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you a prophet? And he said, No. 22 Then they said to him, Who are you? so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say concerning yourself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Straighten the highway of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. 24 Those who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him and said to him, Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor a prophet? 26 John answered and said to them, I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know; 27 This is the one who comes after me, and is ahead of me, the one even the strings of whose shoes I am not good enough to untie. 28 These things happened in Bethany, at the Jordan crossing, where John was baptizing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said they unto him, who art thou?.... Since, as yet, he had only answered in negatives, who he was not, that he was not the Christ, nor Elias, nor that prophet; they desire he would give them a positive account who he was:
that we may give answer to them that sent us; that their labour might not be in vain; that they might not come so far for nothing, without knowing who he was; and that they might be capable of giving an account of him to the sanhedrim:
what sayest thou of thyself? they insisted on it, that he would openly, and honestly declare who he was, and what was his office and business; that from his own mouth, and not from the opinion and conjectures of others, they might represent him in a true light to those who had deputed them on this errand.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 22. That we may give an answer to them that sent us. — These Pharisees were probably a deputation from the grand Sanhedrin; the members of which, hearing of the success of the Baptist's preaching, were puzzled to know what to make of him, and seriously desired to hear from himself what he professed to be.
