John 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

John 3:24

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 Matthew 14:4 ) ; and this circumstance shows, that these things were done before that journey of Christ into Galilee, mentioned in ( Matthew 4:12 Matthew 4:13 ) .

John 3:24 In-Context

22 After these things, Yeshua came with his talmidim into the land of Yehudah. He stayed there with them, and immersed.

23 Yochanan also was immersing in Einayim near Shalem, because there was much water there. They came, and were immersed.

24 For Yochanan was not yet thrown into prison.

25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of Yochanan's talmidim with some Yehudim about purification.

26 They came to Yochanan, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Yarden, to whom you have testified, behold, the same immerses, and everyone is coming to him."
