John 3:22
Jesus went - From the capital city, Jerusalem, into the land of Judea - That is, into the country. There he baptized - Not himself; but his disciples by his order, John 4:2.
20 For aeveryone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been adone in God.”
John the Baptist Exalts Christ
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them aand baptized.
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near aSalim, because there was much water there. bAnd they came and were baptized.
24 For aJohn had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification.
26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, ato whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all bare coming to Him!”
27 John answered and said, a“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, a‘I am not the Christ,’ but, b‘I have been sent before Him.’
29 aHe who has the bride is the bridegroom; but bthe friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.
30 aHe must increase, but I must decrease.
31 aHe who comes from above bis above all; che who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. dHe who comes from heaven is above all.
32 And awhat He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.
