John 3:27-30

27John answered, a“A person cannot receive even one thing bunless it is given him cfrom heaven. 28You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, dI am not the Christ, but eI have been sent before him.’ 29 fThe one who has the bride is the bridegroom. gThe friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, hrejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 iHe must increase, but I must decrease.”
Some interpreters hold that the quotation continues through verse 36
