"[John the Baptist said when asked if he was the Christ, the Messiah:] 'I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him. The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.'" --John 3:28-29.
