"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."

"How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?"

"How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.

If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?

"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?

But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"

This led to an angry debate among the Jews. "How can this man," they argued, "give us his flesh to eat?"

The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?"

"You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.

How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.

"How then were your eyes opened?" they asked.

So the Pharisees renewed their questioning as to how he had obtained his sight. "He put clay on my eyes," he replied, "and I washed, and now I can see."

This led some of the Pharisees to say, "That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." "How is it possible for a bad man to do such miracles?" argued others.

"Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it then that he can now see?"

but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."

"What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?"

when the Jews gathered round Him and kept asking Him, "How long do you mean to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so plainly."

how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

"See how dear he held him," said the Jews.

The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"

"Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, 'Cause us to see the Father'?
