1 Now there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus. 2 He came to Jesus at night and told him, |Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.| 3 Jesus replied to him, |Truly, I tell you emphatically, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.| 4 Nicodemus asked him, |How can a person be born when he is old? He can't go back into his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?| 5 Jesus answered, |Truly, I tell you emphatically, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Don't be astonished that I told you, 'All of you must be born from above.'
