John 3:30 in Context — John 3

28 Vosotros mismos me sois testigos que dije: Yo no soy el Cristo, sino que soy enviado delante de él.

29 El que tiene la esposa, es el esposo; mas el amigo del esposo, que está en pie y le oye, se goza grandemente de la voz del esposo; así pues, este mi gozo es cumplido.

30 A él conviene crecer, mas á mí menguar.

31 El que de arriba viene, sobre todos es: el que es de la tierra, terreno es, y cosas terrenas habla: el que viene del cielo, sobre todos es.

32 Y lo que vió y oyó, esto testifica: y nadie recibe su testimonio.
