Again in John it is written:
For I came down from heaven ...3 (100:6)

Christ says in these verses that He, the Son of man, is in heaven at the time while He, Christ, is on earth. He also says that he came down from heaven, though physically it is known that He came from the womb of Mary and that His physical body was born of Mary. (100:7)

Is it any wonder that the people could not understand these verses? We can appreciate their bewilderment, as expressed in John: (100:8)

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?4 (100:9)
