John 2:23 – 3:15
\n23 When he was in Jerusalem during the Passover festival, many believed in his name because they saw the signs that he was doing. 24 But Jesus on his part would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people 25 and needed no one to testify about anyone; for he himself knew what was in everyone.
\n1 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, \u201cRabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.\u201d 3 Jesus answered him, \u201cVery truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.\u201d 4 Nicodemus said to him, \u201cHow can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?\u201d 5 Jesus answered, \u201cVery truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, \u2018You must be born from above.\u2019 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.\u201d 9 Nicodemus said to him, \u201cHow can these things be?\u201d 10 Jesus answered him, \u201cAre you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
\n11 \u201cVery truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
