John 3:28-30
New Life Version
28 You heard the words that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before Him.’ 29 The man who has just been married has the bride. The friend of the man just married stands at his side and listens to him. He has joy when he hears the voice of the man just married. I am full of this joy. 30 He must become more important. I must become less important.
