25 And there arose a question betwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifiyng. 26 And they came vnto Iohn, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyonde Iordane, to whom thou barest witnesse, beholde the same baptizeth, and all men come to hym. 27 Iohn aunswered, and sayde: A man can receaue nothyng, except it be geuen hym from heauen. 28 Ye your selues are witnesses, howe that I sayde I am not Christe, but am sent before hym. 29 He that hath ye bride, is the bridegrome. But the friende of the brydegrome, which standeth & heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of ye brydegromes voyce. This my ioy therfore is fulfylled. 30 He must increace, but I must decreace.
