1. But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2. he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be with him.
3. Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4. Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born?
