Jesus and Nicodemus

3There was a man from the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.G1161G2258G444G1537G5330G3686G846G3530G758G24532This man came to Him at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him."G3778G2064G4314G2424G3571G2532G2036G846G4461G1492G3754G2064G1320G2064G575G2316G1063G3762G1410G4160G5023G4592G3739G4771G4160G3362G2316G5600G3326G8463Jesus replied, "I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G509G1410G3756G1492G932G23164"But how can anyone be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked Him. "Can he enter his mother's womb a second time and be born?"G3530G3004G4314G846G4459G1410G444G1080G5607G1088G3361G1410G1525G1208G1519G846G3384G2836G2532G10805Jesus answered, "I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.G2424G611G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G1537G5204G2532G4151G3756G1410G1525G1519G932G23166Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.G1080G1537G4561G2076G4561G2532G1080G1537G4151G2076G41517Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.G2296G3361G3754G2036G4671G5209G1163G1080G5098The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."G4151G4154G3699G2309G2532G191G5456G846G235G1492G3756G1492G4159G2064G2532G4226G5217G3779G2076G3956G1080G1537G41519"How can these things be?" asked Nicodemus.G3530G611G2532G2036G846G4459G1410G5023G109610"Are you a teacher of Israel and don't know these things?" Jesus replied.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G1320G2474G2532G1097G3756G502311"I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.G281G281G3004G4671G2980G3754G3739G1492G2532G3140G3739G3708G2532G2983G3756G2257G314112If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?G1487G2036G5213G1919G2532G4100G3756G4459G4100G1437G2036G5213G203213No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven— the Son of Man.G2532G3762G305G1519G3772G1508G2597G1537G3772G5207G444G3588G5607G1722G377214Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,G2532G2531G3475G5312G3789G1722G2048G3779G1163G5207G444G531215so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.G3363G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3363G622G235G2192G166G222216"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.G1063G2316G3779G25G2889G5620G1325G846G3439G5207G2443G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3361G622G235G2192G166G222217For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.G1063G2316G649G3756G846G5207G1519G2889G2443G2919G2889G235G2443G2889G1223G846G498218Anyone who believes in Him is not judged, but anyone who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.G4100G1519G846G2919G3756G2919G1161G4100G3361G2919G2235G3754G4100G3361G4100G1519G3686G3439G5207G231619"This, then, is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.G1161G3778G2076G2920G3754G5457G2064G1519G2889G2532G444G25G4655G3123G2228G5457G1063G846G2041G2258G419020For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.G1063G3956G4238G5337G3404G5457G2532G3756G2064G4314G5457G3363G846G2041G165121But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God."G1161G4160G225G2064G4314G5457G2443G846G2041G5319G3754G2076G2038G1722G2316

Jesus and John the Baptist

22After this, Jesus and His disciples went to the Judean countryside, where He spent time with them and baptized.G3326G5023G2064G2424G2532G846G3101G1519G1093G2449G2532G1563G1304G3326G846G2532G90723John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People were coming and being baptized,G1161G2491G2532G2258G907G1722G137G1451G4530G3754G2258G4183G5204G1563G2532G3854G2532G90724since John had not yet been thrown into prison.G1063G2491G2258G3768G906G1519G543825Then a dispute arose between John's disciples and a Jew about purification.G3767G1096G2214G3326G1537G2491G3101G2453G4012G251226So they came to John and told him, "Rabbi, the One you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing— and everyone is flocking to Him."G2532G2064G4314G2491G2532G2036G846G4461G3739G2258G3326G4675G4008G2446G3739G4771G3140G2396G3778G907G2532G3956G2064G4314G84627John responded, "No one can receive a single thing unless it's given to him from heaven.G2491G611G2532G2036G444G1410G3756G2983G3762G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G377228You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Messiah, but I've been sent ahead of Him.'G5210G846G3140G3427G3140G3754G2036G1473G1510G3756G5547G235G3754G1510G649G1715G156529He who has the bride is the groom. But the groom's friend, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the groom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.G2192G3565G2076G3566G1161G5384G3566G3588G2476G2532G191G846G5463G5479G1223G3566G5456G3778G1699G5479G3767G413730He must increase, but I must decrease."G1565G1163G837G1161G1691G1642

The One from Heaven

31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth is earthly and speaks in earthly terms. The One who comes from heaven is above all.G2064G509G2076G1883G3956G5607G1537G1093G2076G1537G1093G2532G2980G1537G1093G2064G1537G3772G2076G1883G395632He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.G2532G3739G3708G2532G191G5124G3140G2532G3762G2983G846G314133The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.G2983G846G3141G4972G3754G2316G2076G22734For God sent Him, and He speaks God's words, since He gives the Spirit without measure.G1063G3739G2316G649G2980G4487G2316G1063G2316G1325G3756G4151G1537G335835The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hands.G3962G25G5207G2532G1325G3956G1722G846G549536The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.G4100G1519G5207G2192G166G2222G1161G544G5207G3700G3756G3700G2222G235G3709G2316G3306G1909G846
