John 3:23 WEB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 3:22-36

In these verses we have, I. Christ's removal into the land of Judea (John 3:22), and there he tarried with his disciples. Observe, 1. Our Lord Jesus, after he entered upon his public work, travelled much, and removed often, as the patriarchs in their sojournings. As it was a good part of his humiliation that he had no certain dwelling-place, but was, as Paul, in journeyings often, so it was an instance of his unwearied industry, in the work for which he came into the world, that he went about... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 3:22-30

3:22-30 After these things Jesus and his disciples went to the district of Judaea. He spent some time there with them, and he was baptizing; and John was baptizing at Ainon, near Salem, because there was much water there. The people kept coming to him and being baptized, for John had not yet been thrown into prison. A discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew about the matter of cleansing. So they came to John and said to him: "Rabbi, look now! The man who was with you on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 3:23

And John also was baptizing in Aenon ,.... The Syriac and Persic versions call it "Ain", or "In you", the fountain of the dove; and the Arabic version reads it, the fountain of "Nun": and whether it was a town, or river, it seems to have its name from a fountain near it, or that itself was one, where was an abundance of water, as the text shows. There is a city of this name in the Septuagint version of Joshua 15:61 , and mention is made of Hazerenon in Numbers 34:9 , but neither of them... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:23

In Aenon - This place was eight miles southward from Scythopolis, between Salim and Jordan. There was much water - And this was equally necessary, where such multitudes were baptized, whether the ceremony were performed either by dipping or sprinkling. But as the Jewish custom required the persons to stand in the water, and, having been instructed, and entered into a covenant to renounce all idolatry, and take the God of Israel for their God, then plunge themselves under the water, it is... read more

And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near to Salim, because there were many waters there; and they came, and were baptized. There is much difficulty in determining the site of AE non, near Saleim. Eusebius and Jerome (in 'Onomasticon') place it in the northern part of Samaria, about eight miles south of Scythopolis. This does not well accord with the statement that Jesus was "in Judaea," and proposed to "pass through Samaria" (cf. verse 22; John 4:1-4 ). It may be observed, however,... read more

The relation between our Lord and his forerunner. Jesus seems to have followed in the footsteps of John, who was still at large, baptizing disciples in the southern borders of Judaea. I. THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE JEWS AND JOHN 'S DISCIPLES . The subject of dispute. "About purifying." It was caused by the competition of the two baptisms, and turned upon the best mode of true purification. 1 . The Jews might ascribe greater efficacy to Jesus ' baptism than to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 3:23

In Enon - The word “Enon,” or “Aenon,” means “a fountain,” and was doubtless given to this place because of the fountains there. On the situation of the place nothing certain has been determined. Eusebius places it eight Roman miles south of Scythopolis or Bethshan, and 53 miles northeast of Jerusalem.Near to Salim - It would seem from this that Salim was better known then than Enon, but nothing can be determined now respecting its site. These places are believed to have been on the west side... read more
