Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found the person Moses and the prophets wrote about in the Law and God's word. It is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said to him: Could any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said: Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him. He said: Look an Israelite indeed.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi! We know you are a teacher from God. No one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him. Jesus answered: Truly I tell you unless a person is born again (brought forth from above) he cannot see the kingdom of God. read more.
Nicodemus asked: How could a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born? Jesus responded: I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! That which is born from the flesh is flesh and that which is born from the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I say you must be born again. The wind blows where it will. You hear the sound of it. Yet you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. It is like this with every one who is born from the Spirit. Nicodemus asked: How can these things be? Jesus answered: Are you a teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things?

Nicodemus spoke to them. (He is the Pharisee who earlier went to Jesus.) Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to find out what he has done? They replied: Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes out of Galilee. read more.
