John 3:26 WBT

²⁴  For John was not yet cast into prison.

²⁵  Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying.

²⁶  And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.

²⁷  John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

²⁸  Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
