John 3:20 in context

  1. 18He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
  2. 19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
  3. 20For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
  4. 21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
  5. 22After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
