The Death of Aaron

²²The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh^(A) and came to Mount Hor.^(B) ²³At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,^(C) the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ²⁴“Aaron will be gathered to his people.^(D) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command^(E) at the waters of Meribah.^(F) ²⁵Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.^(G) ²⁶Remove Aaron’s garments^(H) and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people;^(I) he will die there.”

²⁷Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor^(J) in the sight of the whole community. ²⁸Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar.^(K) And Aaron died there^(L) on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, ²⁹and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died,^(M) all the Israelites mourned for him^(N) thirty days.

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus

3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus^(A) who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.^(B) ²He 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)

³Jesus 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!”

⁵Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.^(H) ⁶Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit^[b] gives birth to spirit.^(I) ⁷You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You^[c] must be born again.’ ⁸The 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? ¹¹Very 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) ¹²I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? ¹³No one has ever gone into heaven^(O) except the one who came from heaven^(P)—the Son of Man.^[e]^(Q)
