耶穌與尼克迪莫
3 有一個人，屬於法利賽人，名叫尼克迪莫，是猶太人的一位首領。 2 他夜裡來到耶穌那裡，說：「拉比，我們知道你是從神那裡來的老師，因為你所行的這些神蹟，如果沒有神的同在，沒有人能做得到。」
3 耶穌回答說：「我確確實實地告訴你：一個人如果不重生[a]，就不能見神的國。」
4 尼克迪莫問：「人老了，怎麼能出生呢？他難道能再進母腹又出生嗎？」
5 耶穌回答：「我確確實實地告訴你：一個人如果不是由水和聖靈所生的，就不能進入神的國。 6 由肉體所生的，就是肉體；由聖靈所生的，就是靈。 7 我說『你們必須重生[b]』，你不要感到驚奇。 8 風[c]隨意而吹，你聽見風聲，卻不知道它從哪裡來，往哪裡去。所有由聖靈所生的，也是這樣。」
9 尼克迪莫又問：「怎麼能有這些事呢？」
10 耶穌回答說：「你是以色列的老師，還不明白這些事嗎？ 11 我確確實實地告訴你：我們講論我們所知道的，我們見證我們所看到的，而你們卻不接受我們的見證。 12 我告訴你們地上的事，你們尚且不信，如果我告訴你們天上的事，你們怎麼會信呢？ 13 除了從天上降下來的人子，[d]沒有人升過天。 14 摩西在曠野怎樣把銅蛇舉起，人子也必須照樣被舉起來， 15 好使所有相信他的人[e]，都得到永恆的生命。
16 「神愛世人，甚至賜下他的獨生子，好讓所有信他的人不至於滅亡，反得永恆的生命， 17 因為神差派他的[f]兒子來到世上，不是為了定世人的罪，而是為了世人藉著他得救。 18 信他的人，不被定罪；不信的人，已經被定罪了，因為他不信神獨生子的名。
19 「所定的罪是這樣的：光來到了世界，人們卻因自己的行為邪惡，不喜愛光，反喜愛黑暗。 20 事實上，所有作惡的人，都憎恨光，不來到光那裡，免得自己的行為被揭露出來； 21 但行真理的人，卻來到光那裡，為了顯明自己所做的是在神裡面被做成的。」
耶穌與施洗約翰
22 這些事以後，耶穌和他的門徒們來到猶太地區，住在那裡，並且給人施洗。 23 約翰也在撒令附近的艾嫩施洗，因為那裡水多。眾人紛紛而來受洗。 24 原來，約翰那時候還沒有被投進監獄。
25 約翰的門徒們與一個[g]猶太人，為了潔淨禮起了辯論。 26 他們就到約翰那裡，對他說：「拉比，你看，以前與你在約旦河對岸的，就是你所見證的那一位，他也在施洗，而且大家都到他那裡去了。」
27 約翰回答說：「如果不是從天上賜下的，人就不能得到什麼。 28 你們自己可以為我見證：我曾經說過『我不是基督，而是奉差派在他前面的。』 29 迎娶新娘的是新郎。新郎的朋友站在那裡，聽到新郎的聲音，就歡喜快樂。這樣，我這喜樂得以滿足了。 30 他必興旺，我必衰微。」
來自天上的那一位
31 那從上面來的，是在萬有之上；那從地而出的，屬於地，而且所說的也屬於地。那從天上來的，是在萬有之上， 32 他見證他所看到的、他所聽到的，可是沒有人接受他的見證。 33 那接受他見證的人，就印證了神是真實的。 34 神所差派的那一位，就說神的話語，因為神不靠著量度賜下聖靈。 35 父愛子，把一切都交在他手裡了。 36 信從子的人，就有永恆的生命；但是不肯信從子的人，見不到生命，而且神的震怒也停留在他身上。

耶稣与尼哥底母
3 有个法利赛人，名叫尼哥底母，他是犹太人的一位首领。 2 夜里，他来见耶稣，说∶“拉比（老师），我们知道您是来自上帝的老师，因为假如上帝不与您同在，没人能行您行的神迹。”
3 耶稣回答道∶“我实话告诉你，如果一个人不重生，就不能在上帝的王国占有一席之地。”
4 尼哥底母说∶“一个人老了，怎么能重生呢？他自然不可能第二次投胎再生了！”
5 耶稣回答说∶“我实话告诉你，如果一个人不从水和灵中出生，他就不能进入上帝的王国； 6 从肉体出生的是肉体；从灵出生的是灵。 7 所以，当我告诉你∶‘你们必须重生’时，你不必感到奇怪。 8 风任随它意吹拂，你可以听到风声，却不知它从哪儿来，到哪儿去。由圣灵所生的人也是如此。”
9 尼哥底母问∶“怎么会是这样的呢？”
10 耶稣回答说∶“你是以色列人的老师，难道你也不明白吗？ 11 我实话告诉你，我们说的是我们知道的，我们讲的是我们所见的，但是你们却不接受我们的证言。 12 我告诉你们尘世上的事情，你们不相信，那么，如果我告诉你们天上的事情，你们又怎么能相信呢？ 13 除了从天降临的那位－人子之外，没有人升过天。
14 正如摩西在旷野里举起蛇一样，人子也必照样被举起， 15 目的是让所有信仰他的人得到永生。”
16 因为，上帝非常爱世人，他甚至献出了自己唯一的儿子，以便使每一个信仰他（儿子）的人不会灭亡，而获永生。 17 上帝派他的儿子到世上来，不是为了给世人定罪，而是要通过他使世人得到拯救。 18 凡是信仰他的人，都不会被定罪，不信仰他的人已被定罪，因为他们不信仰上帝唯一的儿子。 19 定罪的事实是：光明已来到这个世界，可是人们却情愿要黑暗，而不要光明，因为他们做的事是邪恶的。 20 凡是干坏事的人都憎恨光明。他不到光明里来，免得他的劣迹被暴露。 21 但是，那些遵循真理的人到光明里来，光明使他们通过上帝做过的工作显示的清清楚楚。 [a]
耶稣与施洗者约翰
22 此后，耶稣和门徒们来到犹太地区，他在那里和他们共度时光，为人们施洗礼。 23 约翰在撒冷附近的哀嫩也为人们施洗礼，因为那里水很多。人们不断地来到约翰那里，接受洗礼， 24 （那时，约翰还没有被关进监狱。）
25 当时，约翰的门徒和一个犹太人针对洁净仪式一事发生了争论， 26 他们来到约翰那里，对他说∶“拉比（老师），从前在约旦河对岸和您在一起的那个人，也就是您为他作证的那个人，现在正给人们施洗礼呢，人们都纷纷到他那里去了。”
27 约翰回答说∶“除非上天所赐，否则，人不会领受到任何事情。 28 你们自己可以证明我说过∶‘我不是基督，我只不过是在他之前被派来的。’ 29 和新娘结婚的是新郎，但是，新郎的傧相等在那里，倾听新郎的动静。他一听见新郎的的声音，就非常高兴。我现在充满了快乐， 30 他必须变得越来越伟大，我必须变得越来越渺小。”
来自天上的那位
31 “来自天上的他高于一切，来自尘世的属于尘世，他所说的一切也都来自尘世。但是来自天堂的他高于一切。
32 他证明了自己的所见所闻，但是，却没有人愿意接受他的见证。 33 接受基督见证的人证明了上帝是真实的。 34 因为上帝派来的他（耶稣），说上帝说的话。上帝赐给他的灵 [b]是无限的。 35 父爱他的儿子，把一切都交到了他的手中。 36 信仰圣子的人得以永生，不服从圣子的人将看不到永生，相反，上帝的愤怒会始终伴随着他。

Jesus and Nicodemus
3 There was a man named Nicodemus, one of the Pharisees. He was an important Jewish leader. 2 One night he came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. No one can do these miraculous signs that you do unless they have God’s help.”
3 Jesus answered, “I assure you, everyone must be born again. Anyone who is not born again cannot be in God’s kingdom.”
4 Nicodemus said, “How can a man who is already old be born again? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?”
5 Jesus answered, “Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God’s kingdom. 6 The only life people get from their human parents is physical. But the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual. 7 Don’t be surprised that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it wants to. You hear it, but you don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born from the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus asked, “How is all this possible?”
10 Jesus said, “You are an important teacher of Israel, and you still don’t understand these things? 11 The truth is, we talk about what we know. We tell about what we have seen. But you people don’t accept what we tell you. 12 I have told you about things here on earth, but you do not believe me. So I’m sure you will not believe me if I tell you about heavenly things! 13 The only one who has ever gone up to heaven is the one who came down from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 “Moses lifted up the snake in the desert.[a] It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too. 15 Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.”[b]
16 Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him. 18 People who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty. But people who do not believe are already judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son. 19 They are judged by this fact: The light[c] has come into the world. But they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light. They will not come to the light, because the light will show all the bad things they have done. 21 But anyone who follows the true way comes to the light. Then the light will show that whatever they have done was done through God.
Jesus and John the Baptizer
22 After this, Jesus and his followers went into the area of Judea. There he stayed with his followers and baptized people. 23 John was also baptizing people in Aenon, a place near Salim with plenty of water. People were going there to be baptized. 24 This was before John was put in prison.
25 Some of John’s followers had an argument with another Jew about religious washing.[d] 26 Then they came to John and said, “Teacher, remember the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River? He is the one you were telling everyone about. He is also baptizing people, and many are going to him.”
27 John answered, “A person can receive only what God gives. 28 You yourselves heard me say, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only the one God sent to prepare the way for him.’ 29 The bride always belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who helps the bridegroom just waits and listens. He is happy just to hear the bridegroom talk. That’s how I feel now. I am so happy that he is here. 30 He must become more and more important, and I must become less important.
The One Who Comes From Heaven
31 “The one who comes from above is greater than all others. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth. He talks about things that are on the earth. But the one who comes from heaven is greater than all others. 32 He tells what he has seen and heard, but people don’t accept what he says. 33 Whoever accepts what he says has given proof that God speaks the truth. 34 God sent him, and he tells people what God says. God gives him the Spirit fully. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given him power over everything. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But those who do not obey the Son will never have that life. They cannot get away from God’s anger.”

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus(A) who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.(B) 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,(C) we know(D) that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs(E) you are doing if God were not with him.”(F)
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”(G)
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.(H) 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.(I) 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d](J)
9 “How can this be?”(K) Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,”(L) said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know,(M) and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.(N) 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven(O) except the one who came from heaven(P)—the Son of Man.[e](Q) 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(R) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f](S) 15 that everyone who believes(T) may have eternal life in him.”[g](U)
16 For God so loved(V) the world that he gave(W) his one and only Son,(X) that whoever believes(Y) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(Z) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(AA) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(AB) 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,(AC) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(AD) 19 This is the verdict: Light(AE) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.(AF) 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.(AG) 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
John Testifies Again About Jesus
22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.(AH) 23 Now John(AI) also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.)(AJ) 25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing.(AK) 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi,(AL) that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified(AM) about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’(AN) 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom.(AO) The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.(AP) 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”[h]
31 The one who comes from above(AQ) is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.(AR) The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard,(AS) but no one accepts his testimony.(AT) 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent(AU) speaks the words of God, for God[i] gives the Spirit(AV) without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.(AW) 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,(AX) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
