9 “How can these things be? ” asked Nicodemus.
10 “Are you a teacher 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 do not accept Our testimony.
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.
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 have eternal life.
