Augustine of Hippo, on John 3:22

“After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.”

“(Tr. xiii. c. 8) The Jews then asserted Christ to be the greater person, and His baptism necessary to be received. But John’s disciples did not understand so much, and defended John’s baptism. At last they come to John, to solve the question: And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee beyond Jordan, behold, the Same baptizeth.”
