Nicodemus » Becomes a disciple of jesus
Now there was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him." "In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God." read more.
"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus replied; "Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" "I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not at my telling you, 'You must all be born again from above.' The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with every one who has been born of the Spirit." "How can this be?" said Nicodemus in reply. "Are you the Teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?" said Jesus.

Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them, "Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?" In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet." read more.
