Contextual Overview

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: ³¹ he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from 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.
