John 3:22-26 Part 1 of 2

After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. (This was before John was put in prison.) An argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan--the one you testified about--look, he is baptizing and everyone is going to him." 

where he spent some time with them, and baptized 
John 4:1-2  Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John--although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.

Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim 
Matthew 3:1-2  In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."

(This was before John was put in prison)

Matthew 14:3-5  Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for John had been saying to him: "It is not lawful for you to have her." Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.

over the matter of ceremonial washing
