John 3:25-33

²⁵Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.

²⁶And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.

²⁷Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.

²⁸Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁹He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.

³⁰He must increase, but I must decrease.

³¹Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.

³²And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.

³³He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
