John 3:27-30

27John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

28You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but rather, ‘I am sent before Him.’

29The one who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the best man rejoices when he stands and hears the bridegroom’s voice. So now my joy is complete!

30He must increase, while I must decrease.”
