For John was not yet cast into prison (3:24) Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying (3:25) 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 (3:26) John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven (3:27) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him (3:28) 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 (3:29) He must increase, but I [must] decrease (3:30) He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all (3:31) And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony (3:32) He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true (3:33) For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him] (3:34) The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand (3:35) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him
(3:36)
