John the Baptist’s disciples were jealous for him. He had been preparing the way for Jesus, calling on people to repent and be baptized – and now Jesus was baptizing too and many were following Him instead of John. This was not a problem for John, instead he was overjoyed – for his purpose was always to point people to Jesus! Now that Jesus was here, John knew that he was meant to decrease in prominence allowing Jesus to increase in importance.
