John 3:1-8
Chapter 3
Jesus and Nicodemus
He came to Jesus at night and said:
“Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
Jesus replied:
“Truly, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”
Nicodemus said to him:
“How can there be a rebirth for a grown man? Who could go back to his mother’s womb and be born again?”
Jesus answered:
“Truly, I tell you: No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Therefore, do not be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again from above.’
The wind blows wherever it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
