John 3:1-14

John 3:1-14

[1] a man  of  the Pharisees,  named  Nicodemus,  a ruler  of the Jews:  [2] The same  came  to  by night,  and  said  unto him,  Rabbi,  we know  that  a teacher  come  from  God:  for  no man  can  do  miracles  that  thou  doest,  God  with  him.  [3] Jesus  answered  and  said  unto him,  Verily,  I say  a man  be born  again,  he cannot  the kingdom  of God.  [4] Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  How  can  a man  be born  old?  can  he enter  the second time  into  his  mother's  womb,  and  be born?  [5] Jesus  answered,  Verily,  I say  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  and  that which is born  of  the Spirit  [7] Marvel  not  that  I said  must  be born  again.  [8] The wind  bloweth  where  it listeth,  and  thou hearest  the sound  thereof,  but  not  tell  whence  it cometh,  and  whither  it goeth:  so  every one  that is born  of  the Spirit.  [9] Nicodemus  answered  and  said  unto him,  How  can  be?  [10] Jesus  answered  and  said  unto him,  thou  a master  of Israel,  and  knowest  not  [11] Verily,  I say  We speak  that  we do know,  and  testify  that  we have seen;  and  ye receive  not  witness.  [12] If  I have told  earthly things,  and  ye believe  not,  how  shall ye believe,  if  I tell  of heavenly things?  [13] And  no man  hath ascended up  to  heaven,  he that came down  from  heaven,  even the Son  of man  which  in  heaven.  [14] And  as  Moses  lifted up  the serpent  in  the wilderness,  even so  must  the Son  of man  be lifted up:
