lont@John:3:22 @ After this, Jesus went, with his disciples, into the territory of Judea, where he remained with them, and immersed.

lont@John:3:23 @ John also was immersing in Enon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came thither, and were immersed.

lont@John:3:24 @ For John was not yet cast into prison.

lont@John:3:25 @ Now John's disciples had a dispute with a Jew, about purification.

lont@John:3:26 @ Then they went to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you near the Jordan, of whom you gave so great a character; he, too, immerses, and the people flock to him.

lont@John:3:27 @ John answered, A man can have no power but what he derives from heaven.

lont@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are witness for me, that I said, I am not the Messiah; but am sent before him.

lont@John:3:29 @ The bridegroom is he who has the bride; but the friend of the bridegroom, who assists him, rejoices to hear the bridegroom's voice: this, my joy, therefore, is complete.

lont@John:3:30 @ He must increase, while I decrease.

lont@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above, is above all. He who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks as being from the earth. He who comes from heaven, is above all.

lont@John:3:32 @ What he testifies, is what he has seen and heard; yet his testimony is not received.

lont@John:3:33 @ He who receives his testimony, vouches the veracity of God.

lont@John:3:34 @ for he whom God has commissioned, relates God's own words; for to him God gives not the Spirit by measure.

lont@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has subjected all things to him.

lont@John:3:36 @ He who believes on the Son, has life eternal; he who rejects the Son, shall not see life: but the vengeance of God awaits him.
