John 3:22 After these things came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judaea; and there He tarried with them, and baptized.
- Who are those He baptized/baptizes? Those that were "with them," His disciples, those that follow Him both in that time and today.
4:1-3 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus Himself baptized not, but His disciples,) He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Hi Whirlwind...there is one thing I will share with you that you may understand some things of the bible even better than you do...it is not to read the brackets with input of thoughts that are given in most of the translations after 1995. The doctrines of the translators are being added to the words of Christ. They are not the words of the direct quotes the Lord gave us... and takes us into their doctrines when we read the bible...when this is stopped the bible open up to a pure untainted truth on what Jesus is saying...
When I was shown this by the Lord I started crossing out every thing in a bracket or parenthesis in the bible and am so very thankful I have..
Time is drawing near as November is speedily coming and we will soon be removed from out homes for a little while until the beast fulfills the time allotted to him to finish up prophesy and to bring in every lasting righteousness.. The King Jesus...
In Christ's love

Good morning Vickie,
My understanding of the (brackets) is that it marks a parenthetical sentence or paragraph. It isn't that it was an addition, or a translators thought, but that it was placed in an incorrect spot. I was thumbing through the Bible to find where an entire chapter is a parenthetical chapter showing it should be placed either before or after another chapter. I haven't yet found it but I'll let you know if I do.
The words printed in
italics are changes from the text...additions, etc. and could be discarded.
