John 3:22-26

²²After this Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and spent some time with the people, baptizing them.

²³John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there and people kept coming to be baptized.

²⁴(This was before John was imprisoned.)

²⁵An argument developed between John's disciples and a Jew over ceremonial purification.

²⁶They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man you were with on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you testified in support of—see, now he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!”
