New Testament

John 3:19-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. "Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.

20. "Everyone who does evil things hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen.

21. But anyone who lives by the truth comes into the light. He does this so that it will be easy to see that what he has done is with God's help."

22. After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the countryside of Judea. There he spent some time with them. And he baptized people there.

23. John was also baptizing. He was at Aenon near Salim, where there was plenty of water. People were coming all the time to be baptized.
