Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity of regeneration.1 ¶¹ There² wasºª a manº ofº the² Pharisees,º namedº¹ Nicodemus,º a rulerº of the² Jews:º 2 The sameº cameºª toº Jesusº by night,º andº saidºª unto him,º Rabbi,º we knowºª thatº thou art¹ª a teacherº comeºª fromº God:º forº no manº canºª doºª theseº miraclesº thatº thouº doest,ºª exceptº Godº beºª withº him.º 3 Jesusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto him,º Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto thee,º Exceptº a manº be bornºª again,º he cannotººª seeºª the² kingdomº of God.º 4 Nicodemusº saithºª untoº him,º Howº canºª a manº be bornºª when he isºª old?º canº¹ª he² enterºª the second timeº intoº his¹² mother'sº womb,º andº be born?ºª 5 Jesusº answered,ºª Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto thee,º Exceptº a manº be bornºª ofº waterº andº [of] the Spirit,º he cannotººª enterºª intoº the² kingdomº of God.º 6 That which is bornºª ofº the² fleshº isºª flesh;º andº that which is bornºª ofº the² Spiritº isºª spirit.º 7 Marvelºª notº thatº I saidºª unto thee,º Yeº mustºª be bornºª again.º 8 The² windº blowethºª whereº it listeth,ºª andº thou hearestºª the² soundº thereof,º butº canst¹ª not¹ tellºª² whenceº it cometh,ºª andº whitherº it goeth:ºª soº isºª every oneº that is bornºª ofº the² Spirit.º 9 Nicodemusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto him,º Howº canºª these thingsº be?ºª 10 Jesusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto him,º Artºª thouº a masterº of Israel,º andº knowestºª notº these things?º 11 Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto thee,º We² speakºª thatº¹ we do know,ºª andº testifyºª thatº we have seen;ºª andº ye receiveºª notº ourº witness.º 12 Ifº I have toldºª youº earthly things,º andº ye believeºª not,º howº shall ye believe,ºª ifº I tellºª youº [of] heavenly things?º 13 Andº no manº hath ascended upºª toº heaven,º butº he that came downºª fromº heaven,º [even] the² Sonº of manº which¹ isºª inº heaven.º [1] Jn 3:10; 7:47.
