These [things] took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
