John 3:24-27

²⁴And John was not yet sent into prison.

²⁵Therefore a question was made of John’s disciples with the Jews, of the purification, (or about the purification), or (the) cleansing.

²⁶And they came to John, and said to him, Master or Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond or over (the) Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witnessing, lo! he baptizeth, and all men come to him. (And they came to John, and said to him, Teacher, he who was with thee on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom thou hast witnessed, or thou hast testified, behold! he baptizeth, and all come to him.)

²⁷John answered, and said, A man may not take anything, no but it be given to him from heaven. (John answered, and said, No one can receive anything, unless it be given to him from heaven, yea, from God.)
