John 3:22-30

22

AfterG3326 these thingsG3778 cameG2064 JesusG3588G2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of JudæaG2453; andG2532 thereG1563 he tarriedG1304 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 baptizedG907. 23

AndG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG1510 baptizingG907 inG1722 ÆnonG137 nearG1451 to SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there wasG1510 muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG3854, andG2532 were baptizedG907. 24ForG1063 JohnG3588G2491 wasG1510 not yetG3768 castG906 intoG1519 prisonG3588G5438.

25ThenG3767 there aroseG1096 a questionG2214 betweenG3326 some ofG1537 John’sG2491 disciplesG3588G3101 andG3326 the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifyingG2512. 26AndG2532 they cameG2064 untoG4314 JohnG3588G2491, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, heG3739 that wasG1510 withG3326 theeG4771 beyondG4008 JordanG3588G2446, to whomG3739 thouG4771 barest witnessG3140, beholdG3708, the sameG3778 baptizethG907, andG2532 allG3956 men comeG2064 toG4314 himG846. 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3762, exceptG3361 it beG1510 givenG1325 himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772. 28YeG4771 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG1473 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG3588G5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565. 29He that hathG3588G2192 the brideG3588G3565 isG1510 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG3588G5384 of the bridegroomG3588G3566, which standethG3588G2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of theG3588G5456 bridegroom’sG3588G3566 voiceG3588G5456: thisG3778 myG3588G1699 joyG3588G5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137. 30HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1473 must decreaseG1642.
