That’s why I have often been kept from coming to you.
Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I’ve planned many times to visit you. But until now, I’ve been kept from coming. My work has produced results among the other Gentiles, and in the same way, I want to see results among you.
But John didn’t want to. He told Jesus, “I need to be baptized by you, so why are you coming to me?”
