21ButG1161 he that doethG4160 truthG225 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, thatG2443 hisG846 deedsG2041 may be made manifestG5319, thatG3754 they areG2076 wroughtG2038 inG1722 GodG2316.

22AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 cameG2064 JesusG2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of JudaeaG2449; andG2532 thereG1563 he tarriedG1304 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 baptizedG907. 23AndG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG2258 baptizingG907 inG1722 AenonG137 nearG1451 to SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there wasG2258 muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG3854, andG2532 were baptizedG907. 24ForG1063 JohnG2491 wasG2258 not yetG3768 castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438. 25ThenG3767 there aroseG1096 a questionG2214 betweenG3326 some ofG1537 John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 and the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifyingG2512. 26AndG2532 they cameG2064 toG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 saidG2036 to himG846, RabbiG4461, heG3739 that wasG2258 withG3326 theeG4675 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, to whomG3739 thouG4771 barest witnessG3140, beholdG2396, the sameG3778 baptizethG907, andG2532 allG3956 men comeG2064 toG4314 himG846. 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, A manG444 canG1410G3756 receiveG2983 nothingG3762, exceptG3362 it beG5600 givenG1325 himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3772.1 28YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565. 29He that hathG2192 the brideG3565 isG2076 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whoG3588 standethG2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137. 30HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642. 31He that comethG2064 from aboveG509 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956: he that isG5607 ofG1537 the earthG1093 isG2076 earthlyG1537G1093, andG2532 speakethG2980 ofG1537 the earthG1093: he that comethG2064 fromG1537 heavenG3772 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956.
