Jesus pointed to the future fact and what was about to occur. Jesus was not preaching DBR as how people appropriate salvation. Nor the Dbr
the message the disciples were going around preaching. This is proved by Luke in 18 . No one was saved by Romans 10.9 nor was the good news 1 cor 15 until Rom 15 1-4 actually happened. If they had been preaching the Dbr before the dbr it would not have happened.

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Jesus said "unless you are born again,you can not enter the kingdom"
Try real hard to process it.
Are you actually unaware of Jesus mission?
It Was NOT to do anything but die for our sins.
....no matter what those misguided paulines tell you.
