John 3:28-30
Worldwide English (New Testament)
28 You yourselves heard what I said. I am not the Christ but I have been sent ahead of the Christ.
29 The wife belongs to the man who has married her. The man's best friend may stand and listen. And when he hears what that man says, he is very glad for him. So what I hear makes me very glad in the same way.
30 He must become more and more great, but I must become less and less great.
