Si Jesus at si Nicodemo
3 May isang Pariseo na nagngangalang Nicodemo na pinuno ng mga Judio. 2 Isang gabi, pumunta siya kay Jesus at sinabi, “Rabi, nalalaman po naming kayo'y isang tagapagturong mula sa Diyos, sapagkat walang makakagawa ng mga himalang ginagawa ninyo kung wala sa inyo ang Diyos.”
3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Tandaan mo ang sinasabi kong ito: malibang ipanganak na muli[a] ang isang tao, hindi niya makikita ang paghahari ng Diyos.”
4 “Paanong maipapanganak pang muli ang isang taong matanda na? Makakapasok pa ba siya sa sinapupunan ng kanyang ina para muling ipanganak?” tanong ni Nicodemo.
5 Sagot naman ni Jesus, “Tandaan mo ang sinasabi kong ito: malibang ang isang tao ay ipanganak sa pamamagitan ng tubig at ng Espiritu, hindi siya makakapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos. 6 Ang taong ipinanganak sa laman ay laman, at ang ipinanganak sa Espiritu ay espiritu. 7 Huwag kang magtaka sa sinabi ko sa iyo, ‘kayong lahat ay kailangang ipanganak na muli.’[b] 8 Umiihip ang hangin[c] kung saan nito nais at naririnig mo ang ugong nito, ngunit hindi mo alam kung saan ito nanggagaling at kung saan pupunta. Ganoon din ang bawat ipinanganak sa Espiritu.”
9 “Paano po mangyayari iyon?” tanong ni Nicodemo.
10 Sumagot si Jesus, “Guro ka pa naman sa Israel, hindi mo nauunawaan ang mga bagay na ito? 11 Pakatandaan mo: ang sinasabi namin ay nalalaman namin, at ang pinapatotohanan namin ay nasaksihan namin, subalit hindi ninyo tinatanggap ang aming patotoo. 12 Kung(A) hindi ninyo pinaniniwalaan ang mga sinasabi ko tungkol sa mga bagay dito sa mundo, paano pa ninyo mapapaniwalaan ang sasabihin ko tungkol sa mga bagay doon sa langit? 13 Wala(B) pang sinumang umakyat sa langit kundi ang bumabâ mula sa langit, ang Anak ng Tao.”
14 At(C) kung paanong itinaas ni Moises ang tansong ahas doon sa ilang, gayundin naman, kailangang itaas ang Anak ng Tao, 15 upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 16 Sapagkat gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa sangkatauhan, kaya't ibinigay niya ang kanyang kaisa-isang Anak, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay hindi mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 17 Isinugo ng Diyos ang kanyang Anak, hindi upang hatulan ng parusa ang sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ito sa pamamagitan niya.
18 Hindi hinahatulan ng parusa ang sumasampalataya sa Anak. Ngunit hinatulan na ang hindi sumasampalataya, sapagkat hindi siya sumampalataya sa kaisa-isang Anak ng Diyos. 19 Ganito ang paghatol ng Diyos: naparito sa sanlibutan ang ilaw, ngunit inibig pa ng mga tao ang dilim kaysa liwanag, sapagkat masasama ang kanilang mga gawa. 20 Kinasusuklaman ng mga gumagawa ng masama ang ilaw, ni hindi lumalapit dito upang hindi mahayag ang kanilang mga gawa. 21 Ngunit ang namumuhay ayon sa katotohanan ay lumalapit sa ilaw, upang maihayag na ang mga ginagawa niya ay pagsunod sa Diyos.
Si Jesus at si Juan
22 Pagkatapos nito, si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad ay nagpunta sa lupain ng Judea. Nanatili siya roon nang kaunting panahon na kasama nila at nagbautismo ng mga tao. 23 Samantala, si Juan ay nagbabautismo naman sa Enon, malapit sa Salim, sapagkat maraming tubig doon. Pumupunta sa kanya ang mga tao at nagpapabautismo. 24 Hindi(D) pa noon nabibilanggo si Juan.
25 Minsan, nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga alagad ni Juan at ang isang Judio[d] tungkol sa rituwal ng paglilinis. 26 Kaya't pumunta sila kay Juan at sinabi sa kanya, “Guro, naaalala pa po ba ninyo ang lalaking kasama ninyo sa ibayo ng Jordan, na inyong pinatotohanan? Siya po ay nagbabautismo rin at nagpupuntahan sa kanya ang lahat!”
27 Sumagot si Juan, “Walang sinumang tatanggap ng anuman malibang ito'y ipagkaloob sa kanya ng Diyos. 28 Kayo(E) mismo ang makakapagpatunay na sinabi kong hindi ako ang Cristo; isa lamang akong sugo na mauuna sa kanya. 29 Sa isang kasalan, ang babaing ikakasal ay para lamang sa lalaking ikakasal. Ang abay na naghihintay sa pagdating ng lalaking ikakasal ay lubos na nagagalak kapag narinig niya ang tinig nito. Gayundin naman, lubos na ang aking kagalakan ngayon. 30 Dapat siyang maitaas at ako nama'y maibaba.”
Si Jesus ang Mula sa Langit
31 Ang mula sa itaas ay dakila sa lahat; ang mula sa lupa ay taga-lupa at nagsasalita tungkol sa mga bagay sa lupa. Ang mula sa langit ay dakila sa lahat. 32 Pinapatotohanan niya ang kanyang nakita at narinig ngunit walang tumatanggap sa kanyang patotoo. 33 Ang tumatanggap sa kanyang patotoo ay nagpapatunay na ang sinasabi ng Diyos ay totoo. 34 Ang isinugo ng Diyos ay nagpapahayag ng mga salita ng Diyos, sapagkat lubusang ipinagkakaloob ng Diyos ang kanyang Espiritu. 35 Iniibig(F) ng Ama ang Anak, at ibinigay niya rito ang pamamahala sa lahat ng bagay. 36 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ay may buhay na walang hanggan. Ngunit ang hindi sumusunod sa Anak ay hindi magkakaroon ng buhay. Sa halip, mananatili sa kanya ang poot ng Diyos.

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.

Jezus krijgt bezoek van Nikodemus
3 Er was een Farizeeër die Nikodemus heette. Hij was één van de Joodse leiders. 2 Op een nacht ging hij naar Jezus toe en zei tegen Hem: "Meester, we weten dat U een leraar bent die door God is gestuurd. Want niemand kan de wonderen doen die U doet. Die kan iemand alleen doen als God met hem is." 3 Jezus antwoordde: "Luister goed! Ik zeg je dat je alleen bij het Koninkrijk van God kan horen als je opnieuw geboren bent." 4 Nikodemus vroeg: "Hoe kun je nu geboren worden als je al oud bent? Je kan toch niet weer de buik van je moeder ingaan en opnieuw geboren worden?" 5 Jezus antwoordde hem: "Luister goed! Ik zeg je: je kan het Koninkrijk van God alleen binnen gaan als je geboren wordt uit water en uit de Geest. Anders niet. 6 Uit een mens wordt menselijk leven geboren. Maar uit Gods Geest wordt geestelijk leven geboren. 7 Het is dus niet vreemd dat Ik zeg dat jullie opnieuw geboren moeten worden. 8 De wind waait waarheen hij wil. Je hoort hem wel, maar je weet niet waar hij vandaan komt of waar hij heen gaat. Zo is het ook met iedereen die uit Gods Geest is geboren."
9 Nikodemus vroeg aan Jezus: "Hoe moet iemand uit Gods Geest geboren worden?" 10 Jezus zei: "Jij bent toch een leraar van Israël, iemand die de mensen leert hoe God wil dat ze leven? Hoe kan het dan dat je deze dingen niet weet? 11 Luister goed! Wij spreken over wat Wij weten. Wij vertellen wat Wij hebben gezien. Maar jullie geloven Ons niet. 12 Jullie geloven Mij niet eens als Ik over gewone, aardse dingen spreek. Hoe zouden jullie Mij dan kunnen geloven als Ik over de hemelse dingen spreek? 13 Er is nog nooit iemand naar de hemel geweest behalve Ik, de Mensenzoon. Ik ben er vandaan gekomen. 14 En net zoals Mozes in de woestijn de slang hoog opgeheven heeft,[a] zo moet ook de Mensenzoon hoog opgeheven worden. 15 Iedereen die in Hem gelooft zal dan niet sterven, maar het eeuwige leven hebben. 16 Want God houdt zoveel van de mensen, dat Hij zijn enige Zoon aan hen heeft gegeven. Iedereen die in Hem gelooft, zal niet verloren gaan, maar zal het eeuwige leven hebben. 17 Want God heeft zijn Zoon niet naar de wereld gestuurd om de mensen te veroordelen, maar om door Hem de mensen te redden. 18 Iedereen die in Hem gelooft, wordt niet veroordeeld. Maar iedereen die níet gelooft, ís al veroordeeld. Want hij heeft niet geloofd in de enige Zoon van God. 19 Die mensen zullen worden veroordeeld omdat het Licht in de wereld is gekomen, en ze liever het donker hadden dan het Licht. Dat is omdat ze slechte dingen doen. 20 Want mensen die slechte dingen doen, hebben een hekel aan het licht. Ze gaan er niet naartoe. Want in het licht zullen hun slechte daden zichtbaar worden. En dan zullen ze gestraft worden. 21 Maar mensen die leven zoals God het wil, gaan wel naar het licht toe. Want dan kan iedereen zien dat ze alles wat ze hebben gedaan, met God hebben gedaan."
Johannes legt uit dat Jezus belangrijker is dan hij
22 Daarna ging Jezus met zijn leerlingen naar de streek Judea. Hij trok daar met hen rond en doopte. 23 Johannes doopte ook, in de plaats Enon bij Salim. Want daar was veel water. De mensen kwamen daarheen en lieten zich door hem dopen. 24 Want Johannes was toen nog niet gevangen genomen.
25 Op een dag hadden de leerlingen van Johannes het met een paar Joden over de manier waarop de schuld voor de ongehoorzaamheid van de mensen afgewassen kan worden. Ze waren het hierover niet met elkaar eens. 26 Ze gingen naar Johannes en zeiden tegen hem: "Meester, die Man die laatst bij u was aan de overkant van de Jordaan, waarvan u zei dat Hij het Offerlam van God is, die doopt óók en alle mensen gaan naar Hém." 27 Johannes antwoordde: "Niemand kan dit begrijpen als God hem daar niet bij helpt. 28 Jullie weten zelf dat ik heb gezegd dat ik niet de Messias ben. Ik ben alleen maar gestuurd om voor Hem de weg te banen.
29 De bruid hoort bij de bruidegom. Maar de vriend van de bruidegom is óók blij. Hij staat bij de bruidegom en is blij over wat hij hem hoort zeggen. Daarom ben ik ook heel erg blij. 30 Híj moet steeds belangrijker worden, en ík moet steeds minder belangrijk worden.
31 De Man die uit de hemel is gekomen, is belangrijker dan alle mensen. Ik ben van de aarde en spreek de taal van de aarde. De Man die uit de hemel is gekomen, is belangrijker dan alle mensen. 32 Hij vertelt over wat Hij heeft gezien en gehoord. Maar niemand gelooft Hem. 33 Wie Hem wél gelooft, zegt daarmee dat God de waarheid is. 34 Want de Man die door God is gestuurd, spreekt de woorden van God. Want God heeft Hem eindeloos veel van zijn Geest gegeven. 35 De Vader houdt van de Zoon en heeft Hem over alles de macht gegeven. 36 Wie in de Zoon gelooft, heeft het eeuwige leven. Maar wie niet gehoorzaam is aan de Zoon, zal niet eeuwig leven. Hij blijft schuldig en God moet hem straffen."

Jesus and Nicodemus
3 There was a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a Jewish leader. 2 One night he went to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.”
3 Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that you must be born from above[a] before you can see God's kingdom!”
4 Nicodemus asked, “How can a grown man ever be born a second time?”
5 Jesus answered:
I tell you for certain that before you can get into God's kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit. 6 Humans give life to their children. Yet only God's Spirit can change you into a child of God. 7 Don't be surprised when I say that you must be born from above. 8 Only God's Spirit gives new life. The Spirit is like the wind that blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the wind, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going.
9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 Jesus replied:
How can you be a teacher of Israel and not know these things? 11 I tell you for certain we know what we are talking about because we have seen it ourselves. But none of you will accept what we say. 12 (A) If you don't believe when I talk to you about things on earth, how can you possibly believe if I talk to you about things in heaven?
13 (B) No one has gone up to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from there. 14 (C) And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as the metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert.[b] 15 Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life.
16 God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! 18 No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn't have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God's only Son.
19 The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light. 20 People who do evil hate the light and won't come to the light, because it clearly shows what they have done. 21 But everyone who lives by the truth will come to the light, because they want others to know that God is really the one doing what they do.
Jesus and John the Baptist
22 Later, Jesus and his disciples went to Judea, where he stayed with them for a while and was baptizing people.
23-24 (D) John had not yet been put in jail. He was at Aenon near Salim, where there was a lot of water, and people were coming there for John to baptize them.
25 John's followers got into an argument with a Jewish man[c] about a ceremony of washing.[d] 26 They went to John and said, “Rabbi, you spoke about a man when you were with him east of the Jordan. He is now baptizing people, and everyone is going to him.”
27 John replied:
No one can do anything unless God in heaven allows it. 28 (E) You surely remember how I told you that I am not the Messiah. I am only the one sent ahead of him.
29 At a wedding the groom is the one who gets married. The best man is glad just to be there and to hear the groom's voice. That's why I am so glad. 30 Jesus must become more important, while I become less important.
The One Who Comes from Heaven
31 God's Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others. 32 He speaks about what he has seen and heard, and yet no one believes him. 33 But everyone who does believe him has shown that God is truthful. 34 The Son was sent to speak God's message, and he has been given the full power of God's Spirit.
35 (F) The Father loves the Son and has given him everything. 36 Everyone who has faith in the Son has eternal life. But no one who rejects him will ever share in that life, and God will be angry with them forever.
Footnotes
- 3.3 from above: Or “in a new way.” The same Greek word is used in verses 7,31.
- 3.14 just as the metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert: When the Lord punished the people of Israel by sending snakes to bite them, he told Moses to hold a metal snake up on a pole. Everyone who looked at the snake was cured of the snake bites (see Numbers 21.4-9).
- 3.25 a Jewish man: Some manuscripts have “some Jewish men.”
- 3.25 about a ceremony of washing: The Jewish people had many rules about washing themselves and their dishes, in order to make themselves fit to worship God.
