Night falls.

The Pharisee Nicodemus comes to Jesus.

Rabbi, I know you are a teacher sent by God.

Nobody can do what you do unless God is in him.

What I say is, I say to you, unless a man is reborn, he cannot see God’s kingdom.

How can a man be reborn when he is old?

Can he go back in his mother’s womb and be born again?

What I say is, I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter God’s kingdom.

Flesh is born of flesh, and Spirit is born of Spirit.

Don’t be surprised when I say to you, you must be reborn.

The wind blows where it wills.

You can hear it even if you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.

So everyone born of the Spirit will hear the Spirit.

You can hear it even if you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.

How can these things be?

Do you teach Israel and not know these things?

We say what we know and tell what we have seen, but you don’t hear us.

If I tell you about the world and you don’t believe, how can I tell you about heaven?

No one has gone up to heaven but him who came down from heaven, Adam’s son, who is in heaven.

Moses lifted up the snake in the desert.

Adam’s son must also be lifted up, and whoever believes in him will not die, but will always have life.

God so loves the world that he gives his only son, and whoever believes in him will not die, but will have always life.
