"Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification."

“Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.”
“There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying. ”
“There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's disciples with some Jews about purification.”
“Now a dispute came about between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew concerning ceremonial washing.”
“And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, concerning purification.”
“Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.”
“Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.”
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.
John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized--
for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."
John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
"You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent ahead of Him.'
