John 3:10-13
Excerpted from: John 3:16 in Context

What He is doing here by saying this is that He is stating precisely and confidently that He has seen and heard what God told Him in heaven. He is bringing a message directly from the throne of God and that must have knocked Nicodemus' sandals right off his feet. He was telling him here, "I came directly from God." He says, "I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen in heaven and you do not believe our witness. You do not believe Me. You do not believe the Father. You're off the reservation, Nicodemus. You do not believe what has come directly from the Father's mouth to My ears to tell you." I wonder how he said that. Was Nicodemus by this point, shaking in a puddle of his own sweat? Did he say this with the power of Almighty God? Or was it spoken gently because Nicodemus could not understand? Because he had not been given that gift of the Holy Spirit yet to really understand.

But He is telling him, "Nicodemus, you're thinking like a regular Israelite. You're not thinking like a Christian, like a godly person. You're thinking totally physically and you will not even give Me the time of day to explain these things because you Jewish leaders have already made up your minds." So He says, "I came down from heaven. I'm the Son of Man." Now he gives him a bone.
