John 3:23-36

23And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him] and were baptised: 24for John was not yet cast into prison. 25There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification. 26And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him. 27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven. 28Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. 29He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled. 30He must increase, but I must decrease. 31He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all, 32[and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. 33He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that 1God is true; 34for he whom 2God has sent speaks the words of 3God, for 4God gives not the Spirit by measure. 35The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand. 36He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of 5God abides upon him.
