"How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?"

This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.

A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."

A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send you."

Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.
