Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 2
²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.
²⁴ But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,
²⁵ and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
John 3
¹ Now 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 You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
⁴ Nicodemus *said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?"
⁵ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and 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 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ’You must be born again.’
⁸ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
