JOHN 3 1-12

    🍃🕊️01/06 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

1 - Now there was a man of the Pharisee party whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you’re a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered, “Truly, I tell you, unless one is born again they cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said, “How can a person be born when they are old? Can they enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born again?” 5 Jesus said, “Unless one is born of water, and, of the Spirit, they cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That produced by flesh is flesh {that which is mortal is mortal} and that which is produced of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Don’t wonder that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where the wind blows, and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know exactly where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone having been born of the Spirit.”

     9 Nicodemus said, “How can this be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel and yet you don’t understand? 11 Truly, I tell you, what is known is what is spoken, and what is seen is what is borne witness to. But my witness/testimony isn’t received. 12 If I’ve told you of earthly things and you don’t believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of heavenly things?
