The Baptist said to his followers about Jesus:

31 "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. 32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. 33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. 36 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.”

John 3:31-36 - World English Bible

In John 3:22-25, the disciples of John the Baptist were concerned that the ministry of Jesus began to eclipse their own. The Baptist answered his followers in two ways: reaffirming his own identity and revealing the identity of the One he predicted. He denied he was the Christ; he was the one who prepared for the Promised Messiah (3:27-30). But, who was the Christ? He described the coming hero in Johannine terms: the One from above. Unlike natural men, this heavenly One testified to the word he heard from the Father (3:31-33). People would realize the identity of the Christ and the origin of his message through the power of God's Spirit, poured out on him and his followers (3:34). Then, the Baptist made a remarkable statement; the Father gave the Son everything (3:35). Implicitly, divine judgment shifted from adherence to the Law to allegiance to the Messiah. In other words, one was not saved through duty to the Torah alone, but by becoming a disciple of Jesus (3:36)
