John 3:1-10

1Now there was a man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.

2He came to Yeshua at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You, a teacher, have come from God. For no one can perform these signs which You do unless God is with Him!”

3Yeshua answered him, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus said to Him. “He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”

5Yeshua answered, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7Do not be surprised that I said to you, ‘You all must be born from above.’

8The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

9“How can these things happen?” Nicodemus said.

10Yeshua answered him, “You’re a teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things?
