    1Conversation with Nicodemus Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,

    2came to Jesus at night and said to him,“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him.”

    3Jesus replied,“I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    4Nicodemus said to him,“How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?”

    5Jesus answered,“I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

    6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

    7Do not be amazed that I said to you,‘You must all be born from above.’

    9Nicodemus replied,“How can these things be?”
