Jesus comes back to Judea and his disciples are baptizing. The next chapter points out that Jesus Himself wasn't.
So Jesus sets up shop baptizing and people start flocking to Him and not John the Baptist. John practically tells his disciples that they weren't paying attention earlier when he said he wasn't the Christ, but Jesus was: "He must increase, but I must decrease." He then goes on to repeat Jesus' message of salvation through belief on the Son. John is not confused about who Jesus is at this point.
