John 1:33-34

John 3:26-36
They came to John and said to him,“ Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”John answered,“ A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.You yourselves testify that I said,‘ I am not the Christ,’ but,‘ I have been sent before him.’He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.He must increase, but I must decrease.He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

Luke 7:26-30
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.This is he of whom it is written,‘ Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’“ For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

Matthew 3:11-12
I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.

He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
