CHAPTER 3.
1 AND there was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him:
Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these
signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to
thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he
is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again?
5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a
man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that
which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born
again.
8 The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest
his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is
every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these
things be done?
10 Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master
in Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we
know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
12 If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you
believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that
descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so
must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but
may have life everlasting.
16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only
begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have
life everlasting.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge
the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
18 He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that
doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment: because the light is come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works
were evil.
20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and
cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21 But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that
his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into
the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim;
because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 And there arose a question between some of John's
disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
26 And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he
that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he
baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any
thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am
not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the
friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy
because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is
of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh
from heaven, is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth:
and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his
seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of
God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
35 The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all
things into his hand.
36 He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting;
but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
