John 3:23-27

²³Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

²⁴For at this time John had not been put into prison.

²⁵Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.

²⁶And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

²⁷And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
