Here is your Answer:
I am going to explain something to you. And provide you two words.
1. Context
2. Authorial intent
John chapter 3: 22- 36 is not the end of the context given in the chapter and verses you are ASKING ABOUT.
Points to be made:
1. John did not write in chapters and verses that were added later to make them easy to read.
2. The context of John 3:22-36 is incomplete
If you stop at verse 36, you would have a false narrative that Jesus was baptizing. Nice games people play with the word of God
Point three: the context of Chapter 3 did not end with
john3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
You must read above the text given and after or blow the the text given.
This means Chapter 4
The context continues :
What is the " Therefore " therefore?
1 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John
2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
You use "therefore" when you are talking about the result of something.
Verse 1 of chapter four of John doesn't provide the results that were talked about before and is going to be completed.
The ending context of John chapter 3:22-36 is found in Chapter four of John in verses 1-2
Jesus did not baptize anyone in water because an eyewitness who was in Chapter 3 said so in Chapter 4 within the context of the text.
The authorial intent is to who the author was writing to, what time frame it was written in, and how we apply it today.
