John 3:9-12

9Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

10Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!

11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.

12If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?
