Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named ^(a)Nicodemus, a ^(b)ruler of the Jews;

this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "^(c)Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these ^[a](d)signs that You do unless ^(e)God is with him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one ^(f)is born ^[b]again he cannot see ^(g)the kingdom of God."

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?"

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of ^(h)water and the Spirit he cannot enter into ⁽ⁱ⁾the kingdom of God.
