Contextual Overview

22 After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing. 23 And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; - 24 for, not yet, had John been cast into prison. 25 There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, - concerning purification. 26 And they came unto John, and said unto him - Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him. 27 John answered, and said - A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven. 28 Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said - I, am not the Christ; but - I am sent before, That One. 29 He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled. 30 That One, it behoveth to increase, - but, me, to decrease. 31 He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,

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.
