John 3:22 - 30
John 3:22
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of
Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John
also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much
water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For
John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there
arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews
about purifying.
26 And
they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee
beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John
answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven.
28 Ye
yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but
that I am sent before him.
29
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because
of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
