John 3:29 ASV

²⁷  John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.

²⁸  Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.

²⁹  He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is made full.

³⁰  He must increase, but I must decrease.

³¹  He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
