John 3:29

Additional Testimony By John The Baptist About Jesus

²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ He who has the bride is the groom. But the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the groom’s voice. So this joy of mine is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.”
