Contextual Overview

22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea. And He continued there with them and baptized. 23 And John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, for many waters were there. And they came and were being baptized. 24 For John had not yet been thrown into the prison. 25 Then a question from John's disciples arose with the Jews about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, Teacher, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have witnessed, behold, this One baptizes, and all are coming to Him. 27 John answered and said, A man is able to receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven. 28 You yourselves witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that having been sent, I am going before that One. 29 The one having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. Then this my joy has been fulfilled. 30 That One must increase, but I must decrease. 31 The One having come from above is above all. The one being of the earth is earthy, and speaks of the earth. The One coming out of Heaven is above all.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For John was not yet cast into prison. As he afterwards was by Herod, for the sake of Herodias, because he reproved Herod for taking her to be his wife, when she was wife to his brother Philip; see Matthew 14:3; and this circumstance shows, that these things were done before that journey of Christ into Galilee, mentioned in Matthew 4:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For John was not yet cast into prison - See Luke 3:20. The mention of this shows that John was not imprisoned until some time after our Lord entered on his ministry. The design of John was to call men to repentance, and to prepare them for the Messiah, and this he continued to do after our Saviour commenced his work. It shows that a minister of religion should be industrious to the day of his death. John still toiled in his work not the “less” because the Messiah had come. So ministers should not labor less when Christ appears by his Spirit, and takes the work into his own hands, and turns many to himself.
