26So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
27John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven.
28You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’
29He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom's voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
