Si Jesus at si Nicodemo
3 May isang taong nagngangalang Nicodemo, isang Fariseo at pinuno ng mga Judio. 2 Kinagabiha'y pumunta kay Jesus ang taong ito at sinabi sa kanya, “Rabbi, alam po naming ikaw ay isang gurong mula sa Diyos, sapagkat walang sinumang makagagawa ng mga himalang ginagawa mo malibang sumasakanya ang Diyos.” 3 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, malibang ang tao'y ipanganak mula sa itaas,[a] hindi niya makikita ang kaharian ng Diyos.” 4 Sinabi ni Nicodemo sa kanya, “Paanong maipanganganak ang isang tao kung siya'y matanda na? Maaari ba siyang pumasok muli sa sinapupunan ng kanyang ina upang maipanganak?” 5 Sumagot si Jesus, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, malibang ang isang tao ay ipanganak sa tubig at sa Espiritu, hindi siya makapapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos. 6 Ang isinilang sa laman ay laman at ang isinilang sa Espiritu ay espiritu. 7 Huwag kang magtaka sa sinabi ko sa iyo, ‘kailangang kayo'y ipanganak mula sa itaas[b].’ 8 Ang hangin[c] ay umiihip kung saan nito nais, at naririnig mo ang tunog nito, ngunit hindi mo alam kung saan ito nagmumula at kung saan ito pumupunta. Gayundin ang sinumang ipinanganak sa Espiritu.” 9 Sumagot si Nicodemo sa kanya, “Paano pong mangyayari ang mga ito?” 10 Sumagot si Jesus, “Guro ka ng Israel, at hindi mo alam ang mga bagay na ito? 11 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, nagsasalita kami tungkol sa alam namin, at nagpapatotoo sa mga nakita namin; ngunit hindi ninyo ito tinatanggap. 12 (A)Kung ang sinabi ko sa inyo na mga bagay na panlupa ay hindi ninyo pinaniniwalaan, paano kayong maniniwala kung mga bagay na panlangit na ang sasabihin ko sa inyo? 13 (B)Walang sinumang nakaakyat sa langit maliban sa kanya na bumaba mula sa langit, ang Anak ng Tao. 14 (C)At kung paanong itinaas ni Moises ang ahas sa ilang, ganoon din kailangang maitaas ang Anak ng Tao, 15 upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 16 Sapagkat ganoon inibig ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, kaya ipinagkaloob niya ang kanyang kaisa-isang Anak, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay huwag mapahamak kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 17 Sapagkat isinugo ng Diyos ang Anak sa sanlibutan, hindi upang hatulan ang sanlibutan kundi upang sa pamamagitan niya ay maligtas ang sanlibutan. 18 Ang sumasampalataya sa kanya ay hindi hinahatulan, ngunit ang hindi sumasampalataya ay nahatulan na, sapagkat hindi siya sumasampalataya sa pangalan ng tanging Anak ng Diyos. 19 At ito ang hatol: dumating sa sanlibutan ang ilaw, ngunit mas inibig ng mga tao ang kadiliman kaysa ilaw, dahil masasama ang kanilang mga gawa. 20 Ang sinumang gumagawa ng mga masama ay namumuhi sa ilaw, at hindi siya lumalapit sa ilaw upang hindi malantad ang kanyang mga gawa. 21 Ngunit ang sinumang nagsasagawa ng katotohanan ay lumalapit sa ilaw, nang sa gayon ay mahayag na ang ginagawa niya ay naaayon sa Diyos.”
Si Jesus at si Juan na Tagapagbautismo
22 Pagkatapos ng mga ito, nagtungo si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad sa lupain ng Judea, at doo'y nanatili siya kasama nila at nagbautismo. 23 Nagbabautismo rin si Juan sa Enon malapit sa Salim dahil maraming tubig doon. Maraming tao ang dumating at nabautismuhan. 24 (D)(Hindi pa nakakulong si Juan nang mga panahong ito.) 25 Nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga alagad ni Juan at ang isang Judio tungkol sa rituwal ng paglilinis. 26 Kaya't lumapit sila kay Juan at sinabi sa kanya, “Rabbi, ang taong kasama mo sa kabila ng Jordan, na iyong pinatotohanan ay nagbabautismo. Pumupunta sa kanya ang lahat.” 27 Sumagot si Juan, “Hindi makatatanggap ng anuman ang isang tao malibang ito ay ibinigay sa kanya mula sa langit. 28 (E)Kayo mismo ay mga saksi nang sabihin kong hindi ako ang Cristo, kundi ako ay isinugong una sa kanya. 29 Ang kasama ng kasintahang babae ay ang lalaking ikakasal. Nakatayo ang kaibigan ng lalaking ikakasal at siya'y lubos na nagagalak dahil sa narinig na niya ang tinig ng lalaking ikakasal. Dahil dito'y lubos na rin ang aking kagalakan. 30 Dapat siyang maitaas at ako nama'y maibaba.”
Ang Nagmula sa Langit
31 Siya na nanggaling sa itaas ang pinakamataas; siya na mula sa lupa ay kabilang sa lupa, at nagsasalita nang ayon sa lupa; siya na mula sa langit ang pinakamataas. 32 Nagpapatotoo siya sa kanyang nakita at narinig, ngunit walang tumatanggap ng kanyang patotoo. 33 Ang tumatanggap ng kanyang patotoo ay nagpapatunay na ang Diyos ay totoo. 34 Sapagkat ang isinugo ng Diyos ay nagpapahayag ng mga salita ng Diyos, dahil walang hangganan ang kanyang pagbibigay ng Espiritu. 35 (F)Iniibig ng Ama ang Anak, at ibinigay ang lahat ng bagay sa kanyang kamay. 36 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ay may buhay na walang hanggan; subalit ang sumusuway sa Anak ay hindi makalalasap ng buhay. Sa halip, ang poot ng Diyos ang mananatili sa kanya.

The New Birth
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named (A)Nicodemus, a (B)ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to [a]Jesus at night and said to Him, “(C)Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these [b](D)signs that You do unless (E)God is with him.” 3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone (F)is born [c]again he cannot see (G)the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of (H)water and the Spirit, he cannot enter (I)the kingdom of God. 6 (J)That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born [d]again.’ 8 (K)The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are (L)the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, (M)we speak of what we know and (N)testify of what we have seen, and (O)you people do not accept our testimony. 12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 (P)No one has ascended into heaven, except (Q)He who descended from heaven: (R)the Son of Man. 14 And just as (S)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must (T)the Son of Man (U)be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who [e]believes will (V)have eternal life in Him.
16 “For God so (W)loved the world, that He (X)gave His (Y)only Son, so that everyone who (Z)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God (AA)did not send the Son into the world (AB)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 (AC)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of (AD)the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that (AE)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for (AF)their deeds were evil. 20 (AG)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who (AH)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed [f]as having been performed in God.”
John the Baptist’s Last Testimony
22 After these things Jesus and His (AI)disciples came into the land of Judea; and there He was spending time with them and (AJ)baptizing. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there; and people were coming and being baptized— 24 for (AK)John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Then a matter of dispute developed on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about [g](AL)purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “(AM)Rabbi, He who was with you (AN)beyond the Jordan, to whom you (AO)have testified—behold, He is baptizing and all the people are coming to Him.” 27 John replied, “(AP)A person can receive not even one thing unless it (AQ)has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves [h]are my witnesses that I said, ‘(AR)I am not the [i]Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is (AS)the groom; but the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly because of the groom’s voice. So this (AT)joy of mine has been made full. 30 He must [j]increase, but I must [k]decrease.
31 “(AU)He who comes from above is above all; (AV)the one who is only from the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. (AW)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and heard, of this He (AX)testifies; and (AY)no one accepts His testimony. 33 The one who has accepted His testimony (AZ)has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God (BA)sent speaks the words of God; (BB)for He does not give the Spirit [l]sparingly. 35 (BC)The Father loves the Son and (BD)has entrusted all things to His hand. 36 The one who (BE)believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who (BF)does not [m]obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

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.
