1. There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee.
2. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”
3. Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
4. “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”
5. Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
