Jesus Christ » History of » Nicodemus comes to jesus (in jerusalem)
And there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to him by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can perform these miracles which you perform unless God is with him. Jesus answered and said to him, I tell you most truly, unless one has been born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. read more.
Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he become an unborn infant of his mother a second time, and be born? Jesus answered, I tell you most truly, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is a spirit. Wonder not that I said to you, You must be born again. The Spirit breathes where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you know not whence it comes, nor whither it goes; so is every one that has been born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a teacher of Israel and know not these things? I tell you most truly, that we speak what we know, and what we have seen we testify; and you receive not our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you believe not, how will you believe if I should tell you heavenly things? And no one has ascended into heaven but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; that every one believing in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment; that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved; but he that does good comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, for they are wrought in God.
