John 3:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Verily, verily I say unto thee, We speak that we know, and testify that we have seen: but ye receive not our [a]witness.
12 If when I tell you earthly things, ye believe not, how should ye believe, If I shall tell you of heavenly things?
13 For no [b]man [c]ascendeth up to heaven, but he that had descended from heaven, [d]that Son of man which [e]is in heaven.
