John 4:2

(though Jesus Himself baptized not, but His disciples),
(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),
Though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples—
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
(though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
( although Jesus’ disciples were baptizing, not Jesus himself).
(although it was not Yeshua himself who immersed but his talmidim),
But Jesus' disciples were really the ones doing the baptizing, and not Jesus himself.
(however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)
(But really, Jesus himself did not baptize anyone; his followers baptized people for him.)
But really Jesus himself did not baptize anyone. It was only Jesus' disciples who baptized people.
though it was not Jesus himself who was baptizing but his disciples.
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
although Jesus himself did not baptize people, but his ·followers [disciples] did.
(Though Jesus himself baptized not: but his disciples.)
(Actually, Jesus was not baptizing people. His disciples were.)
( Actually, Jesus himself did not baptize anyone; only his disciples did.)
(though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),
(But really Jesus himself did not baptize people. His followers did the baptizing.) Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard about him.
although it was not Jesus who did the baptizing but his disciples—
Now when the Lord found that the Pharisees had heard that “Jesus is making and baptising more disciples than John”—although, in fact, it was not Jesus who did the baptising but his disciples—he left Judea and went off again to Galilee, which meant passing through Samaria. There he came to a little town called Sychar, which is near the historic plot of land that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph, and “Jacob’s Spring” was there. Jesus, tired with his journey, sat down beside it, just as he was. The time was about midday. Presently, a Samaritan woman arrived to draw some water.
(though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
(though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),
When the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard about the greater crowds coming to him than to John to be baptized and to become his disciples—(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them, but his disciples did)—
Jesus realized that the Pharisees were keeping count of the baptisms that he and John performed (although his disciples, not Jesus, did the actual baptizing). They had posted the score that Jesus was ahead, turning him and John into rivals in the eyes of the people. So Jesus left the Judean countryside and went back to Galilee.
(though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
—although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but · his disciples were—
(Actually, Yeshua was not baptizing people. His disciples were.)
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, just his disciples),
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing; rather, His disciples were),
(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),
(although actually it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who were baptizing),
although Jesus himself did not baptize people, but his followers did.
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
But in fact Jesus was not baptizing. His disciples were.
although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
although in fact it was not Jesus who baptised, but his disciples.
(though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
Jesus did not baptize anyone Himself but His followers did.
(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them—his disciples did).
(though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized—
although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized—
—although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized—
(although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized),
(Jesus himself didn’t baptize people; it was his disciples who were doing it),
Although Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself did not personally administer the mikveh mayim’s tevilah—this was administered by his talmidim,
(though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
(Although Yeshua Himself was not immersing, His disciples were.)
This was because His disciples were busy ritually cleansing many new disciples through baptism,
(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
The Lord knew that they had heard about it. So he left Judea and went back to Galilee again.
though Jesus baptized not, but his disciples,
(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)
