John 3:22-28
22AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 and His 1disciplesG3101 cameG2064 into the landG1093 of JudeaG2453, and thereG1563 He was spendingG1304 timeG1304 with them and 2baptizingG907. 23JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137 nearG1451 SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there was muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563; and people were comingG3854 and were being baptizedG907-- 24for 3JohnG2491 had not yetG3768 beenG1510 thrownG906 into prisonG5438.
25ThereforeG3767 thereG1096 aroseG1096 a discussionG2214 on the part of John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 aboutG4012 4purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “5RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 6beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 7have testifiedG3140, beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “8A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 9has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 10are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘11I amG1510 not the 12ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’
