24And John was not yet sent into prison.
25Therefore a question was made of John’s disciples with the Jews, of the purification, or cleansing.
26And they came to John, and said to him, Master or Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond or over Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witnessing, lo! he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27John answered, and said, A man may not take anything, but it be given to him from heaven.
28Ye yourselves bear witnessing to me, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
