25 Now it happened that a dispute arose between one of John’s disciples and a Jew about the ceremony of purifying. 26 So they came to John and told him, Teacher, he who was with you at the Jordan crossing, concerning whom you testified, behold, he also is baptizing and a great many are coming to him. 27 John answered and said to them, No man can receive anything of his own will, except it is given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him. 29 He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30 He must become greater and I lesser.
