John answered, "A man cannot get anything unless it is given to him from heaven. You will bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ; I have been sent in advance of him.' It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete. He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less." He who comes from above is above all others. A son of earth belongs to earth and speaks of earth. He who comes from heaven is above all others. It is to what he has seen and heard that he gives testimony, and yet no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept it has thereby acknowledged that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks God's words, for God gives him his Spirit without measure. The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son possesses eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not experience life, but will remain under the anger of God.
