John 3:26-30 They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony — see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony — see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man can assume nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are witnesses 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 at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease."
