25 And one of John's disciples and a certain Jew had disputed respecting purification.
26 And they came to John, and said to him: Our Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, and of whom thou gavest testimony, lo, he also baptizeth; and many go after him.
27 John answered, and said to them: A man cannot take any thing by his own choice, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go before him.
