Jesus och Nikodemus

3 Bland fariseerna fanns en man som hette Nikodemus, en av judarnas rådsherrar. 2 Han kom till Jesus om natten och sade: "Rabbi, vi vet att det är från Gud du har kommit som lärare, ty ingen kan göra sådana tecken som du gör, om inte Gud är med honom." 3 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag dig: Den som inte blir född på nytt[a] kan inte se Guds rike." 4 Nikodemus sade: "Hur kan en människa födas när hon är gammal? Inte kan hon väl komma in i moderlivet och födas en gång till?" 5 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag dig: Den som inte blir född av vatten och Ande kan inte komma in i Guds rike. 6 Det som är fött av köttet är kött, och det som är fött av Anden är ande. 7 Var inte förvånad över att jag sade att ni måste födas på nytt. 8 Vinden[b] blåser vart den vill, och du hör dess sus, men du vet inte varifrån den kommer eller vart den far. Så är det med var och en som är född av Anden."

9 Nikodemus frågade: "Hur kan det ske?" 10 Jesus svarade: "Du är Israels lärare och vet inte det. 11 Amen, amen säger jag dig: Det vi vet talar vi, och det vi har sett vittnar vi om, och vårt vittnesbörd tar ni inte emot. 12 Om ni inte tror när jag talar till er om det som hör jorden till, hur skall ni då kunna tro, när jag talar till er om det som hör himlen till? 13 Ingen har stigit upp till himlen utom han som kom ner från himlen, Människosonen som är i himlen.[c] 14 Och liksom Mose upphöjde ormen i öknen, så måste Människosonen bli upphöjd,[d] 15 för att var och en som tror på honom skall ha evigt liv. 16 Ty så älskade Gud världen att han utgav sin enfödde Son, för att den som tror på honom inte skall gå förlorad utan ha evigt liv. 17 Inte sände Gud sin Son till världen för att döma världen utan för att världen skulle bli frälst genom honom. 18 Den som tror på honom blir inte dömd, men den som inte tror är redan dömd, eftersom han inte tror på Guds enfödde Sons namn. 19 Och detta är domen: ljuset kom till världen och människorna älskade mörkret och inte ljuset, eftersom deras gärningar var onda. 20 Ty var och en som gör det onda hatar ljuset och kommer inte till ljuset, för att hans gärningar inte skall avslöjas. 21 Men den som lyder sanningen kommer till ljuset, för att det skall bli uppenbart att hans gärningar är gjorda i Gud."

Jesus och Johannes Döparen

22 Därefter begav sig Jesus med sina lärjungar till Judeen, och där vistades han en tid med dem och döpte. 23 Men också Johannes döpte i Ainon nära Salim - där fanns det gott om vatten - och folk kom dit och blev döpta. 24 Johannes hade ännu inte blivit kastad i fängelse.

25 Då uppstod en tvist mellan några av Johannes lärjungar och en jude om reningen. 26 De gick till Johannes och sade: "Rabbi, han som var hos dig på andra sidan Jordan och som du vittnade om, han döper och alla går till honom." 27 Johannes svarade: "Ingen människa kan ta emot något utan att det ges henne från himlen. 28 Ni kan själva vittna om att jag sade: Jag är inte Messias. Jag är sänd framför honom. 29 Brudgum är den som har bruden. Men brudgummens vän, som står där och hör honom, gläder sig innerligt över brudgummens röst. Den glädjen har jag nu helt och fullt. 30 Han måste bli större och jag mindre.

31 Den som kommer ovanifrån[e] är över alla. Den som kommer från jorden är av jorden, och av jorden talar han. Den som kommer från himlen är över alla. 32 Vad han har sett och hört vittnar han om, och hans vittnesbörd tar ingen emot. 33 Den som har tagit emot hans vittnesbörd har bekräftat att Gud är sann.

34 Den som Gud har sänt talar Guds ord. Gud ger honom sin Ande utan att mäta. 35 Fadern älskar Sonen, och allt har han lagt i hans hand. 36 Den som tror på Sonen har evigt liv. Den som inte lyder Sonen skall inte se livet, utan Guds vrede blir kvar över honom."

Juan 3
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

Tungkol sa Muling Kapanganakan

3 May isang taong nagngangalang Nicodemus. Isa siya sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio at kabilang sa grupo ng mga Pariseo. 2 Isang gabi, pumunta siya kay Jesus at sinabi, “Guro, alam naming isa kayong tagapagturo na mula sa Dios, dahil walang makakagawa ng mga himalang ginagawa ninyo, maliban kung sumasakanya ang Dios.” 3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi ko sa iyo ang totoo, hindi mapapabilang sa kaharian ng Dios ang hindi ipinanganak na muli.”[a] 4 Nagtanong si Nicodemus, “Paanong maipapanganak muli ang isang taong matanda na? Hindi na siya pwedeng bumalik sa tiyan ng kanyang ina upang ipanganak muli.” 5 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi ko sa iyo ang totoo, hindi mapapabilang sa kaharian ng Dios ang hindi ipinanganak sa pamamagitan ng tubig at Banal na Espiritu. 6 Ang ipinanganak sa pamamagitan ng tao ay may pisikal na buhay, ngunit ang ipinanganak sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu ay nagkakaroon ng bagong buhay na espiritwal. 7 Kaya huwag kang magtaka sa sinabi ko sa iyo na kailangang ipanganak kayong muli. 8 Ang hangin ay umiihip kung saan nito gusto. Naririnig natin ang ihip nito, ngunit hindi natin alam kung saan nanggagaling o saan pupunta. Ganoon din ang sinumang ipanganak sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu.” 9 Nagtanong si Nicodemus, “Paano pong mangyayari iyon?” 10 Sumagot si Jesus, “Isa kang tanyag na tagapagturo sa Israel, pero hindi mo ito alam? 11 Sinasabi ko sa iyo ang totoo, ipinapahayag namin ang nalalaman at nasaksihan namin, ngunit hindi ninyo tinatanggap. 12 Kung hindi kayo naniniwala sa mga sinasabi ko tungkol sa mga bagay dito sa mundo, paano pa kaya kayo maniniwala sa mga sasabihin ko tungkol sa mga bagay sa langit? 13 Walang sinumang nakapunta sa langit maliban sa akin na Anak ng Tao na nagmula sa langit.”

14 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Kung paanong itinaas ni Moises ang ahas na tanso sa ilang ay ganoon din naman, ako na Anak ng Tao ay dapat ding itaas,[b] 15 upang ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa akin ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.

16 “Sapagkat ganito ang pag-ibig ng Dios sa mga tao sa sanlibutan: Ibinigay niya ang kanyang Bugtong[c] na Anak, upang ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa kanya ay hindi mapahamak kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 17 Sapagkat hindi sinugo ng Dios ang kanyang Anak dito sa mundo upang hatulan ng parusa ang mga tao, kundi upang iligtas sila. 18 Ang sumasampalataya sa kanya ay hindi hahatulan ng kaparusahan, ngunit ang hindi sumasampalataya ay hinatulan na, dahil hindi siya sumampalataya sa kaisa-isang Anak ng Dios. 19 Hinatulan sila dahil dumating ang Anak ng Dios bilang ilaw dito sa mundo, ngunit mas ginusto nilang manatili sa dilim kaysa sa lumapit sa kanya na nagbibigay-liwanag, dahil masama ang mga ginagawa nila. 20 Ang taong gumagawa ng masama ay ayaw sa liwanag at hindi lumalapit sa liwanag, dahil ayaw niyang malantad ang kanyang mga gawa. 21 Ngunit ang namumuhay sa katotohanan ay lumalapit sa liwanag, upang malaman ng lahat na ang mabubuti niyang gawa ay nagawa niya sa tulong ng Dios.”

Si Jesus at si Juan

22 Pagkatapos nito, pumunta si Jesus at ang mga tagasunod niya sa ibang lugar ng Judea. Nanatili sila roon at nagbautismo ng mga tao. 23 Nagbabautismo rin si Juan sa Enon, malapit sa Salim, dahil maraming tubig doon. Pumupunta sa kanya ang mga tao upang magpabautismo. 24 (Hindi pa nakakulong noon si Juan.)

25 Ngayon, nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang ilang tagasunod ni Juan at ang isang Judio tungkol sa bautismo.[d] 26 Kaya pumunta sila kay Juan at sinabi, “Guro, ang kasama nʼyo sa kabila ng Ilog ng Jordan, na ipinakilala nʼyo sa mga tao ay nagbabautismo na rin, at nagpupuntahan sa kanya ang halos lahat ng tao.” 27 Sumagot si Juan, “Walang magagawa ang tao kung hindi ipahintulot ng Dios. 28 Kayo na rin ang makakapagpatunay na sinabi kong hindi ako ang Cristo. Isa lang akong sugo na nauna sa kanya upang ipahayag ang pagdating niya. 29 Kagaya sa isang kasal: ang babaeng ikakasal ay para sa lalaking ikakasal, at ang abay na naghihintay ay natutuwa sa pagdating ng lalaking ikakasal. Ganoon din sa akin, tuwang-tuwa ako ngayon na lumalapit na ang mga tao kay Jesus. 30 Kailangang lalo pa siyang makilala, at ako namaʼy makalimutan na.”

Ang Nagmula sa Langit

31 Sinabi pa ni Juan, “Si Cristoʼy nagmula sa langit, kaya dakila siya sa lahat. Tayo naman ay taga-lupa at nagsasalita tungkol lang sa mga bagay dito sa lupa. Ngunit si Cristo na nagmula sa langit ay dakila sa lahat. 32 Ipinapahayag niya ang nakita at narinig niya sa langit, ngunit ilan lang ang naniniwala sa kanyang pahayag. 33 Ngunit ang naniniwala sa pahayag niya ay nagpapatunay na totoo ang mga sinasabi ng Dios. 34 Sapagkat si Cristo na sinugo ng Dios ay nagpapahayag sa atin ng mga sinasabi ng Dios, dahil lubos na ipinagkaloob sa kanya ang Banal na Espiritu. 35 Mahal ng Ama ang kanyang Anak, at ipinailalim sa kapangyarihan niya ang lahat. 36 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ng Dios ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Ngunit ang hindi sumusunod sa kanya ay hindi magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan kundi mananatili sa kanya ang galit ng Dios.”

John 3
The Voice

3 Nicodemus was one of the Pharisees, a man with some clout among his people. 2 He came to Jesus under the cloak of darkness to question Him.

Nicodemus: Teacher, some of us have been talking. You are obviously a teacher who has come from God. The signs You are doing are proof that God is with You.

At this time, Israel’s Roman occupiers have given a small group of Sadducees and Pharisees limited powers to rule, and Nicodemus is one of the Pharisees. He holds a seat on the ruling council known as the Sanhedrin, and surprisingly Nicodemus is among those who seek Jesus for His teaching. It appears that he believes more about Jesus than he wants others to know, so he comes at night.

Jesus: 3 I tell you the truth: only someone who experiences birth for a second time[a] can hope to see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus: 4 I am a grown man. How can someone be born again when he is old like me? Am I to crawl back into my mother’s womb for a second birth? That’s impossible!

Jesus: 5 I tell you the truth, if someone does not experience water and Spirit birth, there’s no chance he will make it into God’s kingdom. 6 Like from like. Whatever is born from flesh is flesh; whatever is born from Spirit is spirit. 7 Don’t be shocked by My words, but I tell you the truth. Even you, an educated and respected man among your people, must be reborn by the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. 8 The wind[b] blows all around us as if it has a will of its own; we feel and hear it, but we do not understand where it has come from or where it will end up. Life in the Spirit is as if it were the wind of God.

Nicodemus: 9 I still do not understand how this can be.

Jesus: 10 Your responsibility is to instruct Israel in matters of faith, but you do not comprehend the necessity of life in the Spirit? 11 I tell you the truth: we speak about the things we know, and we give evidence about the things we have seen, and you choose to reject the truth of our witness. 12 If you do not believe when I talk to you about ordinary, earthly realities, then heavenly realities will certainly elude you. 13 No one has ever journeyed to heaven above except the One who has come down from heaven—the Son of Man, who is of heaven. 14 Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. In the same way, the Son of Man must be lifted up; 15 then all those who believe in Him will experience everlasting life.

16 For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life. 17 Here’s the point. God didn’t send His Son into the world to judge it; instead, He is here to rescue a world headed toward certain destruction.

18 No one who believes in Him has to fear condemnation, yet condemnation is already the reality for everyone who refuses to believe because they reject the name of the only Son of God. 19 Why does God allow for judgment and condemnation? Because the Light, sent from God, pierced through the world’s darkness to expose ill motives, hatred, gossip, greed, violence, and the like. Still some people preferred the darkness over the light because their actions were dark. 20 Some of humankind hated the light. They scampered hurriedly back into the darkness where vices thrive and wickedness flourishes. 21 Those who abandon deceit and embrace what is true, they will enter into the light where it will be clear that all their deeds come from God.

Jesus makes the point clear: stay connected to Him, and have no reason to fear. Jesus doesn’t mean that at the instant someone has faith, fear simply vanishes or only good things happen in that person’s life. In fact, the blessings that come with eternal life often have nothing to do with present or future circumstances, but they have everything to do with the individual’s connections to God and others. That is John’s message to his listeners. God came to earth embodied in flesh, and then He reached His greatest acclaim through a torturous death. If this is all true, then believers will find strength and beauty in places never imagined. Abiding in Jesus the Anointed is the good life, regardless of the external circumstances.

22 Not long after, Jesus and His disciples traveled to the Judean countryside where they could enjoy one another’s company and ritually cleanse new followers through baptism.[c] 23-24 About the same time, Jesus’ cousin John—the wandering prophet who had not yet been imprisoned—was upriver at Aenon near Salim baptizing scores of people in the abundant waters there. 25 John’s activities raised questions about the nature of purification among his followers and a religious leader, 26 so they approached him with their questions.

John’s Followers: Teacher, the One who was with you earlier on the other side of the Jordan, the One whom you have been pointing to, is baptizing[d] the multitudes who are coming to Him.

John the Baptist: 27 Apart from the gifts that come from heaven, no one can receive anything at all. 28 I have said it many times, and you have heard me—I am not the Anointed One; I am the one who comes before Him. 29 If you are confused, consider this: the groom is the one with the bride. The best man takes his place close by and listens for him. When he hears the voice of the groom, he is swept up in the joy of the moment. So hear me. My joy could not be more complete. 30 He, the groom, must take center stage; and I, the best man, must step to His side.

31 If someone comes from heaven above, he ranks above it all and speaks of heavenly things. If someone comes from earth, he speaks of earthly things. The One from the heavens is superior; He is over all. 32 He reveals the mysteries seen and realities heard of the heavens above, but no one below is listening. 33 Those who are listening and accept His witness to these truths have gone on record. They acknowledge the fact that God is true! 34 The One sent from God speaks with the very words of God and abounds with the very Spirit and essence of God. 35 The Father loves the Son and withholds nothing from Him. 36 Those who believe in the Son will bask in eternal life, but those who disobey the Son will never experience life. They will know only God’s lingering wrath.

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.
