John 3:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ They came to John and here is what they said to him. “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River is baptizing people. He is the one you told us about. Everyone is going to him.”

²⁷ John replied, “A person can receive only what God gives them from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah. I was sent ahead of him.’
