John 3:22–30 · BSB
3:22 After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
3:23 Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
3:24 (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
3:25 Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
3:26 So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
3:27 John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
3:28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
3:29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
3:30 He must increase; I must decrease.
