John 3:27-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ John answered, “A man cannot receive a single thing, unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of him.’ ²⁹ The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and listens for him, is overjoyed when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine is now complete.
