1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.[ † ]John 7:50John 19:39John 9:16-33Acts 2:22Acts 10:38 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.[ † ]John 1:13Galatians 6:15Titus 3:5James 1:181 Peter 1:231 John 3:9
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.[ † ]Mark 16:16Acts 2:38 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[ † ]John 1:131 Corinthians 15:50 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.[ † ]Psalms 135:7Ecclesiastes 11:5Ezekiel 37:91 Corinthians 2:11
9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?[ † ]John 6:52-60 10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.[ † ]Matthew 11:27John 3:32John 8:14 12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.[ † ]Deuteronomy 30:12Proverbs 30:4Acts 2:34Romans 10:61 Corinthians 15:47Ephesians 4:9 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:[ † ]Numbers 21:9Matthew 27:35Mark 15:24Luke 23:33John 8:28John 12:34John 19:18 15that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.[ † ]John 6:47John 3:36 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.[ † ]Romans 5:8Ephesians 2:42 Thessalonians 2:161 John 4:9-10Revelation 1:5Isaiah 9:6 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.[ † ]Matthew 1:21Luke 9:561 John 4:14 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.[ † ]John 5:24John 6:40-47John 20:31Romans 8:1 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.[ † ]John 1:4-9-11 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.[ † ]Job 24:13Ephesians 5:11-13
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.[ † ]John 15:4-51 Corinthians 15:10
22After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.[ † ]John 4:1-2 23And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.[ † ]1 Samuel 9:4Matthew 3:5-6 24For John was not yet cast into prison.[ † ]Matthew 4:12Matthew 14:3Mark 6:17Luke 3:20
25Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. 26And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.[ † ]John 1:7-15, 27, 34Mark 2:2Mark 3:10Mark 5:24Luke 8:19
27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.[ † ]Romans 12:5-81 Corinthians 3:5-61 Corinthians 4:7Hebrews 5:4James 1:171 Peter 4:10-11 28Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.[ † ]John 1:19-27Malachi 3:1Mark 1:2Luke 1:17 29He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.[ † ]Matthew 22:22 Corinthians 11:2Ephesians 5:25-27Revelation 21:9Song of Solomon 5:1 30He must increase, but I must decrease.[ † ]Isaiah 9:7 31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.[ † ]John 3:13John 8:23Matthew 28:18John 1:15-27John 13:13Romans 9:5Colossians 1:17-181 Corinthians 15:47John 6:33Ephesians 1:21Philippians 2:9 32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.[ † ]Isaiah 53:1-3John 3:11John 15:15 33He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.[ † ]Romans 3:41 John 5:10 34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him .[ † ]Deuteronomy 18:18John 7:16John 1:16 35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.[ † ]Matthew 11:27Luke 10:22John 5:20Hebrews 2:8 36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.[ † ]John 3:16-17John 6:47Romans 1:171 John 5:10Romans 1:18Ephesians 5:61 Thessalonians 1:10
