22AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 and His 1disciplesG3101 cameG2064 into the landG1093 of JudeaG2449; and thereG1563 He was spendingG1304 timeG1304 with them and 2baptizingG907. 23NowG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137, nearG1451 SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there was an abundanceG4183 of waterG5204 thereG1563; and people were comingG3854 and being baptizedG907-- 24for 3JohnG2491 had not yetG3768 beenG1510 thrownG906 into prisonG5438.
25ThenG3767 a matterG2214 ofG2214 disputeG2214 developedG1096 onG1537 theG1537 partG1537 ofG1537 John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 aboutG4012 45purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “6RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 7beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 8have testifiedG3140--beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 the people are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 repliedG611G3004, “9A personG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 notG3761 evenG3761 oneG1520 thingG1520 unlessG1437G3361 it 10has beenG1510 givenG1325 to him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 11areG3140 my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘12I amG1510 not the 13ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’
