John
3:1-10 - There was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by
night, and said
unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
come from God:
for no man can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be
with him. Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the
kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can
a man be born
when he is old? can he enter the second time into
his mother's
womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily,
I say unto
thee, Except 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 unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the
sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither
it goeth: so is
every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus
answered and
said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus
answered and said
unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these
things?
