John 3. 1-5

1. There was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish Council.
2. He came to Jesus by night and said to Him: “Master, we know that You are a teacher sent by God; no one could perform these signs of Yours unless God were with him.”
3. Jesus answered, saying: “In truth, in very truth I tell you: “Unless a man has been born over again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
4. Nicodemus says to Him: “How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born?”
5. Jesus answered: “In truth I tell you: No one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born from water and spirit.”
