⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, ^(A)“How can these things be?”

Many Disciples Turn Away

^60 (A)Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a ^[a]hard saying; who can understand it?”

⁵² The Jews therefore ^(A)quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

³⁴ Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I ^[a]do not know a man?”

⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

²⁴ And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

²⁵ Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
