John 3 : 25 - 30
Chapter 3
| 25 | Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.
|
| 26 | And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!"
|
| 27 | John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.
|
| 28 | You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ,' but, "I have been sent before Him.'
|
| 29 | He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.
|
| 30 | He must increase, but I must decrease.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
