John 3:22-36
John’s Testimony about Jesus
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
22:
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
23:
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
24:
25 Then there arose a question between [some] of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
25:
26 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.
26:
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
27:
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28:
29 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.
29:
30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
30:
31 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.
31:
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
32:
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
33:
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].
34:
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
35:
36 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.
36:
