20For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works 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, along with His disciples, came into the land of Judea, and there He was staying with them and He was baptizing.
23Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salem, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.
24(For John was not yet cast into prison).
25Then there came to be a dispute between John's disciples and a Jew about purification.
26And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, this Man is baptizing, and all men are coming to Him!”
27John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28You yourselves bear witness that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’
