John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.

These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),

So they asked John, “Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

John answered them, “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,

I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”

After this, Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was winning and baptizing more disciples than John

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.

And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining – this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”
