"How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Even before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

"How can a man," asked Nicodemus, "be born when he is old? Can he be born a second time?"

"How can that be?" asked Nicodemus.

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

"How is it," replied the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!

How can you believe in me, when you receive honor from one another and do not desire the honor which comes from the only God?

But, if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my teaching?"

"How," they asked, "are we to do the work that God would have us do?"

"Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son," they asked, "whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from Heaven?"
