John 3:19-24 English Standard Version (ESV)

19. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

20. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

21. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

22. After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing.

23. John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized

24. (for John had not yet been put in prison).
