I think that John is saying that his role was to prepare the people for Jesus coming and now that Jesus is here that John should step back and let Jesus become the focus. There is so much more of Jesus teachings in John than there was in Mark. I am not sure that I understand all of them, but I like the words. Especially Verse 16. It has always been a favorite of mine. That whole passage is uplifting. Praise God.
I THINK THAT THIS MEANS THAT JOHN IS SAYING THAT HE SORT OF HAS TO GET OUT OF THE PICTURE SO THAT JESUS CAN BECOME A BIGGER PART OF THE PICTURE SO THAT THE PEOPLE CAN LISTEN, BELIEVE AND FOLLOW HIM.
