²⁴ That happened before John was put {they put John} in prison.

²⁵ Then some of John's disciples and a certain Jew started arguing about the Jewish rituals of washing things to make them acceptable to God.

²⁶ Then those disciples went to John and said to him, “Teacher, do you remember the man who was with you when you were baptizing people on the other side of the Jordan River? He is the one you were telling us about. Well, now he is baptizing people, and many people are going to him instead of coming to us!”

²⁷ John replied, “A person can become important only if God MTY permits it. So we should not be jealous about Jesus being popular!
