John 3
28 Ref You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
29 Ref He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
30 Ref He has to become greater while I become less.
31 Ref He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
