John 3:28-29 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. So this joy of mine is now complete.
