Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
All Commentaries on John 3:9 Go To John 3
Haymo of Faversham
AD 1244
Nicodemus cannot take in the mysteries of the Divine Majesty, which our Lord reveals, and therefore asks how it is, not denying the fact, not meaning any censure, but wishing to be informed: Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things be?.
Why, it is He asked, does He speak in the plural number, We speak that we do know? Because the speaker being the Only-Begotten Son of God, He would show that the Father was in the Son, and the Son in the Father, and the Holy Spirit from both, proceeding indivisibly.
