Nicodemos visita Jesus
3 Havia um fariseu chamado Nicodemos, líder religioso entre os judeus. 2 Certa noite, veio falar com Jesus e disse: “Rabi, todos nós sabemos que Deus enviou o senhor para nos ensinar. Seus sinais são prova de que Deus está com o senhor”.
3 Jesus respondeu: “Eu lhe digo a verdade: quem não nascer de novo,[a] não verá o reino de Deus”.
4 “Como pode um homem velho nascer de novo?”, perguntou Nicodemos. “Acaso ele pode voltar ao ventre da mãe e nascer uma segunda vez?”
5 Jesus respondeu: “Eu lhe digo a verdade: ninguém pode entrar no reino de Deus sem nascer da água e do Espírito.[b] 6 Os seres humanos podem gerar apenas vida humana, mas o Espírito dá à luz vida espiritual.[c] 7 Portanto, não se surpreenda quando eu digo: ‘É necessário nascer de novo’. 8 O vento sopra onde quer. Assim como você ouve o vento, mas não é capaz de dizer de onde ele vem nem para onde vai, também é incapaz de explicar como as pessoas nascem do Espírito”.
9 “Como pode ser isso?”, perguntou Nicodemos.
10 Jesus respondeu: “Você é um mestre respeitado em Israel e não entende essas coisas? 11 Eu lhe digo a verdade: falamos daquilo que sabemos e vimos e, no entanto, vocês não creem em nosso testemunho. 12 Se vocês não creem em mim quando falo de coisas terrenas, como crerão se eu falar de coisas celestiais? 13 Ninguém jamais subiu ao céu, exceto aquele que de lá desceu, o Filho do Homem.[d] 14 E, como Moisés, no deserto, levantou a serpente de bronze numa estaca, também é necessário que o Filho do Homem seja levantado, 15 para que todo o que nele crer tenha a vida eterna.[e]
16 “Porque Deus amou tanto o mundo que deu seu Filho único, para que todo o que nele crer não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. 17 Deus enviou seu Filho ao mundo não para condenar o mundo, mas para salvá-lo por meio dele.
18 “Não há condenação alguma para quem crê nele. Mas quem não crê nele já está condenado por não crer no Filho único de Deus. 19 E a condenação se baseia nisto: a luz de Deus veio ao mundo, mas as pessoas amaram mais a escuridão que a luz, porque seus atos eram maus. 20 Quem pratica o mal odeia a luz e não se aproxima dela, pois teme que seus pecados sejam expostos. 21 Mas quem pratica a verdade se aproxima da luz, para que outros vejam que ele faz a vontade de Deus”.[f]
João Batista exalta Jesus
22 Então Jesus e seus discípulos saíram de Jerusalém e foram à região da Judeia. Jesus passou um tempo ali com eles, batizando.
23 Nessa época, João também batizava em Enom, perto de Salim, pois havia ali bastante água, e o povo ia até ele para ser batizado. 24 Isso aconteceu antes de João ser preso. 25 Surgiu uma discussão entre os discípulos de João e certo judeu[g] a respeito da purificação cerimonial. 26 Os discípulos de João foram falar com ele e lhe disseram: “Rabi, o homem que o senhor encontrou no outro lado do rio Jordão, aquele de quem o senhor deu testemunho, também está batizando. Todos vão até ele”.
27 João respondeu: “Ninguém pode receber coisa alguma, a menos que lhe seja concedida do céu. 28 Vocês sabem que eu lhes disse claramente: ‘Eu não sou o Cristo. Estou aqui apenas para preparar o caminho para ele’. 29 É o noivo que se casa com a noiva; o amigo do noivo simplesmente se alegra de estar ao lado dele e ouvir seus votos. Portanto, muito me alegro com o destaque dele. 30 Ele deve se tornar cada vez maior, e eu, cada vez menor”.
A superioridade do Filho
31 Aquele que veio do alto é superior a todos. Nós somos da terra e falamos de coisas terrenas, mas ele veio do céu e é superior a todos.[h] 32 Ele dá testemunho daquilo que viu e ouviu, mas como são poucos os que creem no que ele diz! 33 Todo aquele que aceita seu testemunho confirma que Deus é verdadeiro. 34 Pois ele foi enviado por Deus e fala as palavras de Deus, porque Deus lhe dá, sem limites, o Espírito. 35 O Pai ama o Filho e pôs tudo em suas mãos. 36 E quem crê no Filho de Deus tem a vida eterna. Quem não obedece ao Filho não tem a vida eterna, mas a ira de Deus permanece sobre ele.

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.

King James Version
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
