John 3:22

JesusJudeaJudea

20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21 But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23 Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

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