John 3:27 in Context — John 3

25 Houve pois uma discussão dos Discípulos de João com os judeus sobre a purificação.

26 E vieram a João, e disseram-lhe: Rabi, aquele que estava contigo dalém do Jordão, ao qual tu deste testemunho, eis que batiza, e todos vem a ele.

27 João respondeu, e disse: O ser humano não pode receber coisa alguma, se não lhe for dada do céu.

28 Vós mesmos me sois testemunhas, que disse: Eu não sou o Cristo; mas que sou enviado diante dele.
