John 3:22-36

22AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 and His 1disciplesG3101 cameG2064 into the landG1093 of JudeaG2453, and thereG1563 He was spendingG1304 timeG1304 with them and 2baptizingG907. 23JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137 nearG1451 SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there was muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563; and people were comingG3854 and were being baptizedG907-- 24for 3JohnG2491 had not yetG3768 beenG1510 thrownG906 into prisonG5438.

25ThereforeG3767 thereG1096 aroseG1096 a discussionG2214 on the part of John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 aboutG4012 4purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “5RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 6beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 7have testifiedG3140, beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “8A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 9has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 10are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘11I amG1510 not the 12ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 13the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 14joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.

31“15He who comesG2064 from aboveG509 is aboveG1883 allG3956, 16he who is of the earthG1093 is from the earthG1093 and speaksG2980 of the earthG1093. 17He who comesG2064 from heavenG3772 is aboveG1883 allG3956. 32WhatG3739 He has seenG3708 and heardG191, of that He 18testifiesG3140; and 19noG3762 oneG3762 receivesG2983 His testimonyG3140. 33He who has receivedG2983 His testimonyG3141 20has setG4972 his sealG4972 to this, that GodG2316 is trueG227. 34For He whomG3739 GodG2316 has 21sentG649 speaksG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; 2223for He givesG1325 the SpiritG4151 withoutG3756G1537 measureG3358. 3524The FatherG3962 lovesG25 the SonG5207 and 25has givenG1325 allG3956 thingsG3956 into His handG5495. 36He who 26believesG4100 in the SonG5207 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; but he who 27does not 28obeyG544 the SonG5207 will not seeG3708 lifeG2222, but the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidesG3306 on him.”
