John 3:28-29 You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.’

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.’ ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom’s friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That’s why this joy of mine is now complete.
