Thoughts for Wed ...
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named (1) Nicodemus, a (2) ruler of the Jews;
2 this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "(3) Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these (4) signs that You do unless (5) God is with him."
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one (6) is born again he cannot see (7) 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 (8) water and the Spirit he cannot enter into (9) the kingdom of God.
6 "(10) 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 "(11) 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."
9 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can these things be?" |
