John 3:27-29

The Voice

John the Baptist: ²⁷ Apart from the gifts that come from heaven, no one can receive anything at all. ²⁸ I have said it many times, and you have heard me—I am not the Anointed One; I am the one who comes before Him. ²⁹ If you are confused, consider this: the groom is the one with the bride. The best man takes his place close by and listens for him. When he hears the voice of the groom, he is swept up in the joy of the moment. So hear me. My joy could not be more complete.
