John 3:26 CPDV

²⁴  For John had not yet been cast into prison.

²⁵  Then a dispute occurred between the disciples of John and the Jews, about purification.

²⁶  And they went to John and said to him: 'Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you offered testimony: behold, he is baptizing and everyone is going to him.'

²⁷  John responded and said: 'A man is not able to receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.

²⁸  You yourselves offer testimony for me that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but that I have been sent before him.
