and they came and told John, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the opposite side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore testimony ??here he is, baptizing, and everybody goes to him!" John answered, "No one can receive anything except as a gift from heaven. You can bear me out, that I said, 'I am not the Christ'; what I said was, 'I have been sent in advance of him.' He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the bridegroom's friend, who stands by and listens to him, is heartily glad at the sound of the bridegroom's voice. Such is my joy, and it is complete. He must wax, I must wane." He who comes from above is far above all others; he who springs from earth belongs to earth and speaks of earth; he who comes from heaven [is far above all others. He] is testifying to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept it, certifies to the truth of God. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God ??God gives him the Spirit in no sparing measure; the Father loves the Son and has given him control over everything. He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life ??God's anger broods over him."
