WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁷ John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom’s voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.
