John 3:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.
