Jn 3:22:
"After these things came Jesus and his
disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with
them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon
near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they
came, and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into
prison. Then there arose a question between some of John's
disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto
John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond
Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him. John answered and said,
A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from
heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not
the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom,
which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of
the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from
above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and
speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above
all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth;
and no man receiveth his testimony.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal
that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the
words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto
him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things
into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him".
