After the nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, the Gospel of John shifts from private dialogue to public testimony. John 3:22–36 places Jesus and John the Baptist side by side in overlapping ministries, both calling people to repentance and faith. What follows is not a rivalry but a revelation. Rather than defending his influence or status, John embraces his God-given role as the forerunner and joyfully yields center stage to Christ. His famous declaration—“He must increase, but I must decrease”—captures the heart of true discipleship.
