John 3:10-14 in English

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

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

¹² If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;

¹⁰ “Are you Israel’s teacher,” asked Jesus, “and yet you don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly, I tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

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

¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁰ Jesus replied to him, “You (sg) are a well-known teacher among us Israelite people, so ◄I am surprised that you do not understand these things!/how is it that you do not understand these things?► RHQ

¹¹ Listen to this carefully: ◄My disciples and I/I► tell you (pl) about the things that my disciples and I have seen and know are true, but you (pl) do not admit that what my disciples and I are saying is true.

¹² I have told you about the things that happen here on earth that are true, but you (pl) do not believe me. So if I tell you (sg) about things that happen in heaven, ◄you certainly will not believe me!/how will you believe me?► RHQ

¹³ I am the only one who has gone up to heaven; no one else has gone up there. I am also the one who came down from heaven. So I know what happens there.

¹⁴ Long ago when the Israelite people rebelled against God in the desolate area, God sent poisonous snakes to bite them. But when Moses lifted up on a pole the model of a poisonous snake, everyone who looked at that model was healed from their snake bites. Similarly, even though I am the one who came from heaven, some day people will lift me up on a cross to kill me.

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁰ And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

¹¹ Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

¹² If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

¹³ And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

¹⁴ As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

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

¹¹ Verily, 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.

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

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, that which We know, We speak, and that which We have seen, We bear witness to, and you do not receive Our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven except He who came down out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you do not understand these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?

¹³ No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.

¹⁴ Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,

¹⁰ “You're a famous teacher in Israel, and yet you don't understand such things?” Jesus replied.

¹¹ “I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.

¹² If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?

¹³ No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,

¹⁰ Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.

¹² If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?

¹³ For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.

¹⁴ And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up

¹⁰ “What! You a teacher of Israel,” exclaimed Jesus, “and yet do not understand this!

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven — the Son of Man himself.

¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

¹⁰ “What! You a teacher of Israel,” exclaimed Jesus, “and yet do not understand this!

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses Drawn out lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges?

¹¹ Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.

¹² Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?

¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp,

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. Yet you do not accept our testimony.

¹³ And no man ascendeth or goeth up into heaven, but he that came down from heaven, man’s Son that is in heaven or the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses areared or reared up a serpent in desert, so it behooveth man’s Son to be raised up,

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him, Thou art a master in Israel (or Thou art a teacher in Israel), and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, for we speak that that we know, and we witness that that we have seen, and ye take not our witnessing. (Truly, I tell thee the truth, for we speak of that which we know, and we testify about that which we have seen, but ye do not receive or accept our testimony.)
