John 3:26-30 And they went to John and said to him, "Master, the man who was with you across the Jordan, and to whom you yourself gave testimony, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him."

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ And they went to John and said to him, "Master, the man who was with you across the Jordan, and to whom you yourself gave testimony, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man cannot get anything unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You will bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ; I have been sent in advance of him.' ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less."
