23 And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; ––
24 for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew,––concerning purification.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him––Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
27 John answered, and said––A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said––I, am not the Christ; but––I am sent before, That One.
29 He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
30 That One, it behoveth to increase,––but, me, to decrease.
31 He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
32 What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness,––and, his witness, no one, receiveth:––
33 He that hath received his witness, hath set seal––that, God, is, true.
34 For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son, hath life age–abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life,––but, the anger of God, awaiteth him.
