King James Bible
"And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him."
John's disciples approach their teacher with evident concern, addressing him with the respectful title 'Rabbi.' This sets up a moment of potential rivalry between John the Baptist's ministry and Jesus' growing influence. They refer to Jesus indirectly, recalling John's earlier testimony about Him at the Jordan River where John baptized Jesus. Their phrasing suggests they view Jesus as someone who should remain subordinate to John, their teacher who endorsed Him. The disciples report with alarm that Jesus is now baptizing and drawing massive crowds. Their use of 'all men' is hyperbolic but reveals their anxiety that their master's ministry is being eclipsed by the very one he had promoted.
