John 3:19-25

¹⁹This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

²²After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.

²³John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;

²⁴for John was not yet thrown into prison.

²⁵Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
