<p class="bodytext">Nicodemus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;How can these things be?&#8221;<n id="2" />

Nicodemus said to him, &#8220;How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother&#8217;s womb and be born a second time, can he?&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

Others said, &#8220;These are not the words<n id="1" /> of someone possessed by a demon. A demon cannot cause the blind to see,<n id="2" /> can it?&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Nathanael<n id="1" /> replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Can anything good come out of Nazareth?&#8221;<n id="3" /> Philip replied,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Come and see.&#8221;p>

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> unless a person is born from above,<n id="3" /> he cannot see the kingdom of God.&#8221;<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">John replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,<n id="1" /> and I will raise him up at the last day.

<p class="bodytext">Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus<n id="1" /> began to argue with one another,<n id="2" /> &#8220;How can this man<n id="3" /> give us his flesh to eat?&#8221;

Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things,<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;This is a difficult<n id="2" /> saying!<n id="3" /> Who can understand it?&#8221;<n id="4" />

So Jesus added,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it that its deeds are evil.

We must perform the deeds<n id="1" /> of the one who sent me<n id="2" /> as long as<n id="3" /> it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,<n id="1" /> and no one can snatch<n id="2" /> them from my Father&#8217;s hand.

If those people to whom the word of God came were called &#8216;gods&#8217; (and the scripture cannot be broken),<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Jesus answered, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> unless a person is born of water and spirit,<n id="2" /> he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,<n id="1" /> because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides<n id="2" /> with you and will be<n id="3" /> in you.p>

Remain<n id="1" /> in me, and I will remain in you.<n id="2" /> Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,<n id="3" /> unless it remains<n id="4" /> in<n id="5" /> the vine, so neither can you unless you remain<n id="6" /> in me.p>

came to Jesus<n id="1" /> at night<n id="2" /> and said to him, &#8220;Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs<n id="3" /> that you do unless God is with him.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">So Jesus answered them,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> the Son can do nothing on his own initiative,<n id="3" /> but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father<n id="4" /> does, the Son does likewise.<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">Then some of the Pharisees began to say,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This man is not from God, because he does not observe<n id="2" /> the Sabbath.&#8221;<n id="3" /> But others said, &#8220;How can a man who is a sinner perform<n id="4" /> such miraculous signs?&#8221; Thus there was a division<n id="5" /> among them.
