Commentary on John 3:23
John's concurrent ministry at Aenon demonstrates that God's work through different servants can overlap without competition. The detail 'much water' (Greek: hydata polla) indicates John's baptismal practice required immersion. The Reformed tradition sees baptism's mode as significant but subordinate to its spiritual reality of union with Christ.
