John 3:24-28 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²⁴(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

²⁵Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

²⁶So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about — He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”

²⁷John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

²⁸You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
