1.There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2.The 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.
3.Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4.Nicodemus 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?
5.Jesus 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.
6.That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7.Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8.The 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.
9.Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10.Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11.Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12.If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13.And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14.And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15.That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16.For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18.He 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.
19.And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20.For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21.But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22.After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23.And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24.For John was not yet cast into prison.
25.Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26.And 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.
27.John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28.Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29.He 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.
30.He must increase, but I must decrease.
31.He 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.
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 giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35.The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36.He 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.
Summary of John Chapter 3
Jesus goes over with Nicodemus about being born again. In order to enter the kingdom of God you must be born again. This would mean being born of water and of the spirit. They discussed how Jesus was a leader in Israel. John the baptist later was mentioned that he baptized Jesus in the Jordan river.
Poem for John Chapter 3 by Celestine R. Manohar MD
Nicodemus, a Pharisee,
A ruler of the Jews, one night,
Came and said to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,
We know, You are a Teacher great,
Who’as come from God and does these signs,
For without God’s help, none can do.’
And Jesus answered him, ‘Amen,
I say, none can see God’s kingdom
Without being born from above.’
But Nicodemus queried Him,
‘How can one grown be born again?
He can’t reenter mother’s womb.’
So, Jesus said, ‘Amen, I say,
None can enter God’s kingdom sans
Being of water, spirit born.
What’s born of flesh is flesh alone
What’s born of spirit is spirit! ’
Be not amazed for I told you,
‘You must be born from above first.’
‘The wind does blow to where it wills,
And you can hear the sound, it makes,
Yet, you know not from where it comes,
Or none predicts to where it goes.
’Tis so with all from spirit born! ’
Nicodemus then queried, ‘How? ’
Then Jesus answered him and said,
‘Teacher of Israel, you don’t know? ’
‘Amen, Amen, I say to you,
We speak of what we seem to know;
We testify what we have seen;
Yet, people do not accept it.’
‘If you can’t believe earthly things,
How can you believe heave’nly ones? ’
To heaven none have gone except
The Son of Man who has come down.’
Like how Moses lifted serpent,
Lifted up, must be Son of Man,
For believers’ Eternal life.
For, God so loved the world, He gave
His one Son; He who believes Him
Shall perish not but have Eternal Life.
God’s Son wasn’t sent to condemn world,
But that the world be saved through Him.
One who believes Him, will not be condemned,
One who doesn’t, has been condemned already
Because he didn’t believe God’s only Son.
When light had come into the world,
Yet, people chose darkness to light,
Because their works were evil ones.
The wicked hate the divine light
And do not wish to come to it
So that their works might get exposed.
Who lives in truth comes to the light,
So that his works for God be seen.
Then Jesus went with disciples
To baptize in Judea town.
John was baptizing in Aenon,
As water plenty was there found.
A Jew and John’s disciples fought
About ceremonial washings;
They came to John and said to him,
‘One who with you was in Jordan
Is baptizing here all who come.
John said, ‘None can receive a thing
Except what’s given from heaven.
You know I’m not the Messiah,
But I was sent just before Him.’
‘Who has the bride is the bridegroom;
The best-man hears his voice with joy;
This joy of mine is now complete.
He must increase; I must decrease.
One from above is above all;
The earthly one speaks things of earth;
The heavenly one is above all.
He testifies what He has heard and seen;
His testimony, no one accepts still!
He who does, agrees God is trustworthy.
The one God sent, speaks God’s own words.
He does not ration spirit’s gift;
The Father loves the Son so much;
He has given all things to Him.
Whoev’r believes Son, has eternal life;
Whoev’r Son disobeys, will not see life.
The wrath of God remains on him!
Prayer for John Chapter 3
Heavenly Father, what a thrill to realise that because I believe in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His sacrificial work on the Cross, I have been given the right to become Your child and have been made a member of His mystic Body and am part of His spiritual Bride. As I reflect on the joy that servants, like John the Baptist, expressed in recognising Jesus as the beloved Son of God, Who takes away the sin of the world, it fills me with wonder and awe at Your faithfulness to both Israel and Your great love of the Church. Just as John rejoiced to point people to the Bridegroom, so I rejoice that the day is coming when all Israel will be saved, when they repent of their sin nationally, and call out to the Lord Jesus for their own salvation. Great is Your faithfulness. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
