John 3:21 Context
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill. 20For euery one that doeth euill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproued. 21But hee that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 22¶ After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the land of Iudea, and there hee taried with them, and baptized. 23¶ And Iohn also was baptizing in Aenon, neere to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
