And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
