Jesus and Nicodemus 1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.
4Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?
9Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?
10Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony.
12If I have told you of earthly things, and you believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;
15that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved. John’s Testimony about Jesus 22After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea, and he remained there with them, and immersed.
23And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed;
24for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew, about purification.
26And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.
31He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all;
32and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.
33He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.
34For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Anderson's New Testament (1865) Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
