There was a man having been sent from God, whose name was John;

John beareth witness concerning Him, and cried out saying; This is He of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me has been before me:

This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him,

John responded to them, saying, I baptize with water: There standeth One in your midst whom you do not know,

These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

And John testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and remained on Him.

On the following day John again stood, and two of his disciples,

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two hearing from John, and follows Him;

And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there were many waters there: and they came and baptized.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.

And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, He who is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him.

John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven.

Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John

You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth:

But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

And again He departed beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first baptizing; and remained there:

and many came to Hint, and said, that John indeed did no miracle; but all things so many as John spoke concerning this One are true.

John looking in sees the grave-clothes lying; and did not come in.
