John 3:27-29

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁷ John responded and said “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are testifying concerning me that I said that ‘I am not the Christ’, but that ‘I am one having been sent-forth ahead of that One’. ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom. And the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing there and hearing him, rejoices with joy^[a] because of the voice of the bridegroom. So this^[b], my joy, has been made-full.
