Yohan approves of Yeshua’s popularity

Yhn 3:22–36

3:22 Yohan approves of Yeshua’s popularity

22 After this, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) and his followers went down to Yehudah (Judah), and stayed there and immersed some believers. 23 Yohan (John; Grk. Yoannes) was also immersing people at Ainon near Saleim because there was plenty of water there and people would come to him to get immersed. 24 (At this point in time, Yohan had not yet been put in prison.)[ref] 25 Then a debate about purification started between Yohan’s followers and a religious leader.[fn] 26 So some people went to Yohan and said, “Teacher, that man that came to you across the river and that you testified about, now he’s immersing people and so they’re all going to him.”

27 “None of us get anything if it’s not being given from heaven,” Yohan answered. 28 “You yourselves know that I said that I’m not the messiah,[ref] but rather the one coming before him. 29 It’s the groom that has the bride—the best man is happy because he sees that the groom is happy. So I’m actually completely happy with all this. 30 It’s right and proper that he should increase and I should fade out.”

31 “The one who came down from heaven is greater than any of us. We came from this world and speak in our earthly ways. The one who came down from heaven is greater than any of us. 32 He explains about what he’s seen and heard, but people don’t believe him. 33 Anyone who does believe him, confirms that God is true. 34 The one that God sent tells us God’s words, because God doesn’t ration his spirit. 35 The father loves the son and has put him in charge of everything.[ref] 36 Anyone who believes God’s son will live forever, but anyone who disobeys the son won’t be seeing life, but will feel God’s severe anger instead.”

22 After these things the and Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) the apprentices/followers of _him came into the Judean land, and there he _was _staying with them and was _immersing.

23 And the Yōannaʸs was also immersing in Ainōn near the Saleim, because much water was there, and they _were _arriving and were _being _immersed.

24 For/Because the Yōannaʸs was not _yet having _been _throw into the prison.

25 Therefore became a_debate of the apprentices/followers of _Yōannaʸs with a_Youdaios about purification.

26 And they _came to the Yōannaʸs and they _said to _him:
My _great_one, who was with you beyond the Yordanaʸs/(Yardēn), to _whom you have _testified, see, this one is _immersing and all are _coming to him.

27 Yōannaʸs answered and said:
A_person is_ not _able to _be _receiving, not _even one if not it _may _be having _been _given to _him from the heaven.

28 Yourselves you _all are _testifying to _me that I _said:
I am not the chosen _one /messiah, but, that Having _been _sent _out I _am before that one.

29 The one having the bride, is the_bridegroom, but the friend of _the bridegroom, the one having _stood and hearing from _him, is _rejoicing with _joy because _of the voice of _the bridegroom.
Therefore this the my the joy has _been _fulfilled.

The one being from the earth, is from the earth, and is _speaking from the earth.
The one coming from the heaven, is above all things.

32 What he _has _seen and heard, this he _is _testifying, but no _one is _receiving the testimony of _him.

33 The one having _received of _him the testimony, he _sealed that the god is true.

34 For/Because whom the god sent _out, is _speaking the messages of_ the _god, because/for he _is _giving the spirit not by measure.

35 The father is _loving the son, and has _given all things in the hand of _him.

36 The one believing in the son, is _having eternal life, but the one disbelieving in _the son, not will _be _seeing life, but the severe _anger of_ the _god is _remaining on him.
