“….The word
ͺνωθεν has always the meaning ‘above’ in the fourth Gospel (ch. iii. 3, 7, 31; xix. 11, 23); and otherwise
also St. John always speaks of ‘a birth’ from God (St. John i. 13; 1 John ii. 29; iii. 9; iv. 7; v. 1, 4, 18).” –

his works may be manifested, that
in God they are having been wrought.`

from the heaven is coming is
above all. Jn 3 YLT
