Juan 3:9

9 —¿Cómo es posible todo esto? —preguntó Nicodemo.

Juan 3:9 Meaning and Commentary

John 3:9

Nicodemus answered and said unto him
Remaining still as ignorant as ever, though Christ had explained the phrase "born again", at which he stumbled, by a being "born of water and of the Spirit", or of the grace of the Spirit of God; and had illustrated this by the free, powerful, and invisible blowing of the wind:

how can these things be?
The Arabic version reads, "how can this be?" referring either to the last thing said, that a man's being born of the Spirit, is like the blowing of the wind; or to the explanation of the first expression, that a man should be born of water, and of the Spirit; or to the first assertion itself, that a man should be born again; which notwithstanding the explanation and illustration, seemed as impossible, and as impracticable as ever; or rather to them all, and so the Persic version reads, "how can all these things be?"

Juan 3:9 In-Context

7 Así que no te sorprendas cuando digo: “Tienen que nacer de nuevo”.

8 El viento sopla hacia donde quiere. De la misma manera que oyes el viento pero no sabes de dónde viene ni adónde va, tampoco puedes explicar cómo las personas nacen del Espíritu.

9 —¿Cómo es posible todo esto? —preguntó Nicodemo.

10 Jesús le contestó:

11 Te aseguro que les contamos lo que sabemos y hemos visto, y ustedes todavía se niegan a creer nuestro testimonio.
