Contextual Overview

²² After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized. ²³ And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism. ²⁴ (For John was not yet in prison.) ²⁵ As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification, ²⁶ they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him." ²⁷ "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, `I am not the Christ,' but `I am His appointed forerunner.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must grow greater, but I must grow less. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes 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.
