John 3:24

John 3:24

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!”
