There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said t him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him." Jesus answered and said to him , "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man once grown old be born again? Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes: so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Consideration: Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, sees what many Jews cannot see. He has come to the realization that Jesus came from God; and admits that no one could do the signs Jesus was doing unless God was with him. But, still not claiming that Jesus is the Son of God.
