10. Jesus answered, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you don’t understand these things?
11. I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.
12. If I have told you people about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
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 serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15. so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
16. For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
