Jesus Christ » History of » Nicodemus comes to jesus (in jerusalem)
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher which art come from God. For no man could do such miracles as thou doest, except God were with him." Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." read more.
Nicodemus said unto him, "How can a man be born, when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb and be born again?" Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except that a man be 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 spirit. Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be born anew. The wind bloweth where he listeth, and thou hearest his sound: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every man that is born of the spirit." And Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily I say unto thee, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen: And ye receive not our witness. If, when I tell you earthly things, ye believe not: How should ye believe if I shall tell you of heavenly things? And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, that is to say, the son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lift up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lift up, that none that believeth in him perish: but have eternal life. For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, for the intent that none that believe in him should perish: But should have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world, to condemn the world: But that the world, through him, might be saved. He that believeth on him shall not be condemned. But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he believeth not in the name of the only son of God.
