9
"How can these things be?" asked Nicodemus.
10
"Are you a teacher a of Israel and don't know these things?" Jesus replied.
11
"I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you b do not accept Our testimony. c
12
If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?
13
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven-the Son of Man. d
14
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15
so that everyone who believes in Him will e have eternal life.
