3:1 Now
there
was
a
man
of
the
Pharisees
named
Nicodemus,
a
ruler
of
the
Jews.
3:2 This
man
came
to
Jesus
by
night
and
said
to
him,
"Rabbi,
we
know
that
you
are
a
teacher
come
from
God,
for
no
one
can
do
these
signs
that
you
do
unless
God
is
with
him."
3:3 Jesus
answered
him,
"Truly,
truly,
I
say
to
you,
unless
one
is
born
again
he
cannot
see
the
kingdom
of
God."
3:4 Nicodemus
said
to
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"
3:5 Jesus
answered,
"Truly,
truly,
I
say
to
you,
unless
one
is
born
of
water
and
the
Spirit,
he
cannot
enter
the
kingdom
of
God.
3:6 That
which
is
born
of
the
flesh
is
flesh,
and
that
which
is
born
of
the
Spirit
is
spirit.
3:7 Do
not
marvel
that
I
said
to
you,
'You
must
be
born
again.'
3:8 The
wind
blows
where
it
wishes,
and
you
hear
its
sound,
but
you
do
not
know
where
it
comes
from
or
where
it
goes.
So
it
is
with
everyone
who
is
born
of
the
Spirit."
3:9 Nicodemus
said
to
him,
"How
can
these
things
be"
3:10 Jesus
answered
him,
"Are
you
the
teacher
of
Israel
and
yet
you
do
not
understand
these
things
3:11 Truly,
truly,
I
say
to
you,
we
speak
of
what
we
know,
and
bear
witness
to
what
we
have
seen,
but
you
do
not
receive
our
testimony.
3:12 If
I
have
told
you
earthly
things
and
you
do
not
believe,
how
can
you
believe
if
I
tell
you
heavenly
things
3:13 No
one
has
ascended
into
heaven
except
he
who
descended
from
heaven,
the
Son
of
Man.
3:14 And
as
Moses
lifted
up
the
serpent
in
the
wilderness,
so
must
the
Son
of
Man
be
lifted
up,
3:15 that
whoever
believes
in
him
may
have
eternal
life.
3:16 "For
God
so
loved
the
world,
that
he
gave
his
only
Son,
that
whoever
believes
in
him
should
not
perish
but
have
eternal
life.
3:17 For
God
did
not
send
his
Son
into
the
world
to
condemn
the
world,
but
in
order
that
the
world
might
be
saved
through
him.
3:18 Whoever
believes
in
him
is
not
condemned,
but
whoever
does
not
believe
is
condemned
already,
because
he
has
not
believed
in
the
name
of
the
only
Son
of
God.
3:19 And
this
is
the
judgment:
the
light
has
come
into
the
world,
and
people
loved
the
darkness
rather
than
the
light
because
their
works
were
evil.
3:20 For
everyone
who
does
wicked
things
hates
the
light
and
does
not
come
to
the
light,
lest
his
works
should
be
exposed.
3:21 But
whoever
does
what
is
true
comes
to
the
light,
so
that
it
may
be
clearly
seen
that
his
works
have
been
carried
out
in
God."
3:22 After
this
Jesus
and
his
disciples
went
into
the
Judean
countryside,
and
he
remained
there
with
them
and
was
baptizing.
3:23 John
also
was
baptizing
at
Aenon
near
Salim,
because
water
was
plentiful
there,
and
people
were
coming
and
being
baptized
3:24 (for
John
had
not
yet
been
put
in
prison).
3:25 Now
a
discussion
arose
between
some
of
John's
disciples
and
a
Jew
over
purification.
3:26 And
they
came
to
John
and
said
to
him,
"Rabbi,
he
who
was
with
you
across
the
Jordan,
to
whom
you
bore
witness--look,
he
is
baptizing,
and
all
are
going
to
him."
3:27 John
answered,
"A
person
cannot
receive
even
one
thing
unless
it
is
given
him
from
heaven.
3:28 You
yourselves
bear
me
witness,
that
I
said,
'I
am
not
the
Christ,
but
I
have
been
sent
before
him.'
3:29 The
one
who
has
the
bride
is
the
bridegroom.
The
friend
of
the
bridegroom,
who
stands
and
hears
him,
rejoices
greatly
at
the
bridegroom's
voice.
Therefore
this
joy
of
mine
is
now
complete.
3:30 He
must
increase,
but
I
must
decrease."
3:31 He
who
comes
from
above
is
above
all.
He
who
is
of
the
earth
belongs
to
the
earth
and
speaks
in
an
earthly
way.
He
who
comes
from
heaven
is
above
all.
3:32 He
bears
witness
to
what
he
has
seen
and
heard,
yet
no
one
receives
his
testimony.
3:33 Whoever
receives
his
testimony
sets
his
seal
to
this,
that
God
is
true.
3:34 For
he
whom
God
has
sent
utters
the
words
of
God,
for
he
gives
the
Spirit
without
measure.
3:35 The
Father
loves
the
Son
and
has
given
all
things
into
his
hand.
3:36 Whoever
believes
in
the
Son
has
eternal
life;
whoever
does
not
obey
the
Son
shall
not
see
life,
but
the
wrath
of
God
remains
on
him.
