John 3:27 in Context — John 3
25 Or, il s’éleva de la part des disciples de Jean une dispute avec un Juif touchant la purification.
26 Ils vinrent trouver Jean, et lui dirent: Rabbi, celui qui était avec toi au-delà du Jourdain, et à qui tu as rendu témoignage, voici, il baptise, et tous vont à lui.
27 Jean répondit: Un homme ne peut recevoir que ce qui lui a été donné du ciel.
28 Vous-mêmes m’êtes témoins que j’ai dit: Je ne suis pas le Christ, mais j’ai été envoyé devant lui.
29 Celui à qui appartient l’épouse, c’est l’époux; mais l’ami de l’époux, qui se tient là et qui l’entend, éprouve une grande joie à cause de la voix de l’époux: aussi cette joie, qui est la mienne, est parfaite.
