John 3:27 WBT

²⁵  Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying.

²⁶  And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.

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

²⁸  Ye yourselves bear me testimony, 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, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
