← John 3:28	John 3:29 (KJV)	John 3:30 →
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.
