002:022 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 002:023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did. 002:024 But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone, 002:025 and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man. 003:001 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 003:002 The same came to him 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." 003:003 Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew,{The word translated "anew" here and in John 3:7 (anothen) also means "again" and "from above".} he can't see the Kingdom of God." 003:004 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?" 003:005 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! 003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 003:007 Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.' 003:008 The wind{The same Greek word (pneuma) means wind, breath, and spirit.} blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don't know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." 003:009 Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?" 003:010 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and don't understand these things? 003:011 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don't receive our witness. 003:012 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 003:013 No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. 003:014 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 003:015 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 003:016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 003:017 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 003:018 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
