John 에만 언급되어 있다.
그는 예수님에 대해 관심이 많이 있었으나, 자신의 신분 때문에 사람들의 이목을 피해 밤에 예수님에게 왔다.
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus , a ruler of the Jews.
2 The same came to him by night, and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
바리새인 무리들이 예수님에 대해 조사를 하고 평가할 때, 조심스럽게 나서서 예수님을 변호했다.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee ? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
예수님이 돌아가시자 예수님을 장사지내기 위해 몰약과 침향을 가지고 왔다.
Nicodemus , who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
