⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

³⁴ Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

²⁵ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

¹⁸ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
