John 3:14

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

John 3:14 · BSB

John 3:14 in context

The verses around it, from John 3.

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11 Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.

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

13 No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15 that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
