John 3:11–13
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Uerely, verely I say vnto thee, We speake that we doe know, and testifie that wee haue seene; and yee receiue not our witnesse.
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
If I haue tolde you earthly things, and ye beleeue not: how shall ye beleeue if I tell you of heauenly things?
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
And no man hath ascended vp to heauen, but hee that came downe from heauen, euen the Sonne of man which is in heauen.
