What in the world does that have to do with the OP. The Jews ie. Pharisees did not know Him and could not imagine what He meant, their thoughts were of the flesh as the words in verse 22 tell us, "You are from below," meaning earthly beings trusting in the flesh.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
