Jesus and Nicodemus 1Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:
2who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3Jesus answered and said unto him,
4Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5Jesus answered,
9Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be?
10Jesus answered and said unto him,
16 John’s Testimony about Jesus 22After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized.
23And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
25Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, about purifying.
26And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.
27John answered and said, A man can take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven.
28Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before Him.
29He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
31He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:
32but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:
34for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.
35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all into his hand:
36wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. Worsley's New Testament (1770) Digital Text Courtesy TheWord.net Bible Software. Section Headings Courtesy Berean Bible. |
