GNT

1 ἦν δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τῶν φαρισαίων, νικόδημος ὄνομα αὐτῶ, ἄρχων τῶν ἰουδαίων·

2 οὖτος ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ῥαββί, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐλήλυθας διδάσκαλος· οὐδεὶς γὰρ δύναται ταῦτα τὰ σημεῖα ποιεῖν ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ θεὸς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.

3 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν, οὐ δύναται ἰδεῖν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

4 λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν [ὁ] νικόδημος, πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι γέρων ὤν; μὴ δύναται εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ δεύτερον εἰσελθεῖν καὶ γεννηθῆναι;

5 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς, ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος, οὐ δύναται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

6 τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς σάρξ ἐστιν, καὶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος πνεῦμά ἐστιν.

7 μὴ θαυμάσῃς ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, δεῖ ὑμᾶς γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν.

8 τὸ πνεῦμα ὅπου θέλει πνεῖ, καὶ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀκούεις, ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ οἶδας πόθεν ἔρχεται καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγει· οὕτως ἐστὶν πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος.

9 ἀπεκρίθη νικόδημος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, πῶς δύναται ταῦτα γενέσθαι;

10 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ ἰσραὴλ καὶ ταῦτα οὐ γινώσκεις;

11 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι ὅτι ὃ οἴδαμεν λαλοῦμεν καὶ ὃ ἑωράκαμεν μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἡμῶν οὐ λαμβάνετε.

12 εἰ τὰ ἐπίγεια εἶπον ὑμῖν καὶ οὐ πιστεύετε, πῶς ἐὰν εἴπω ὑμῖν τὰ ἐπουράνια πιστεύσετε;

13 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναβέβηκεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

14 καὶ καθὼς μωϊσῆς ὕψωσεν τὸν ὄφιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὕτως ὑψωθῆναι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου,

15 ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐν αὐτῶ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

16 οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

17 οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα κρίνῃ τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα σωθῇ ὁ κόσμος δι᾽ αὐτοῦ.

18 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν οὐ κρίνεται· ὁ δὲ μὴ πιστεύων ἤδη κέκριται, ὅτι μὴ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ μονογενοῦς υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ.

19 αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ κρίσις, ὅτι τὸ φῶς ἐλήλυθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον καὶ ἠγάπησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι μᾶλλον τὸ σκότος ἢ τὸ φῶς, ἦν γὰρ αὐτῶν πονηρὰ τὰ ἔργα.

20 πᾶς γὰρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τὸ φῶς καὶ οὐκ ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·

21 ὁ δὲ ποιῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα φανερωθῇ αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ὅτι ἐν θεῶ ἐστιν εἰργασμένα.

22 μετὰ ταῦτα ἦλθεν ὁ ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἰουδαίαν γῆν, καὶ ἐκεῖ διέτριβεν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐβάπτιζεν.

23 ἦν δὲ καὶ ὁ ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν αἰνὼν ἐγγὺς τοῦ σαλείμ, ὅτι ὕδατα πολλὰ ἦν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεγίνοντο καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο·

24 οὔπω γὰρ ἦν βεβλημένος εἰς τὴν φυλακὴν ὁ ἰωάννης.

25 ἐγένετο οὗν ζήτησις ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν ἰωάννου μετὰ ἰουδαίου περὶ καθαρισμοῦ.

26 καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν ἰωάννην καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, ῥαββί, ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ ἰορδάνου, ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας, ἴδε οὖτος βαπτίζει καὶ πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν.

27 ἀπεκρίθη ἰωάννης καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ δύναται ἄνθρωπος λαμβάνειν οὐδὲ ἓν ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ δεδομένον αὐτῶ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

28 αὐτοὶ ὑμεῖς μοι μαρτυρεῖτε ὅτι εἶπον [ὅτι] οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὁ χριστός, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἀπεσταλμένος εἰμὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐκείνου.

29 ὁ ἔχων τὴν νύμφην νυμφίος ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ φίλος τοῦ νυμφίου, ὁ ἑστηκὼς καὶ ἀκούων αὐτοῦ, χαρᾷ χαίρει διὰ τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ νυμφίου. αὕτη οὗν ἡ χαρὰ ἡ ἐμὴ πεπλήρωται.

30 ἐκεῖνον δεῖ αὐξάνειν, ἐμὲ δὲ ἐλαττοῦσθαι.

31 ὁ ἄνωθεν ἐρχόμενος ἐπάνω πάντων ἐστίν· ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐστιν καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς λαλεῖ. ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐρχόμενος [ἐπάνω πάντων ἐστίν·]

32 ὃ ἑώρακεν καὶ ἤκουσεν τοῦτο μαρτυρεῖ, καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν αὐτοῦ οὐδεὶς λαμβάνει.

33 ὁ λαβὼν αὐτοῦ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐσφράγισεν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἀληθής ἐστιν.

34 ὃν γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ λαλεῖ, οὐ γὰρ ἐκ μέτρου δίδωσιν τὸ πνεῦμα.

35 ὁ πατὴρ ἀγαπᾷ τὸν υἱόν, καὶ πάντα δέδωκεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

36 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς τὸν υἱὸν ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον· ὁ δὲ ἀπειθῶν τῶ υἱῶ οὐκ ὄψεται ζωήν, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ μένει ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν.

1  There¹¹⁶¹ was²²⁵⁸ a man⁴⁴⁴ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ named³⁶⁸⁶ Nicodemus,³⁵³⁰ a ruler⁷⁵⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Jews:²⁴⁵³

2  The same³⁷⁷⁸ came²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ Jesus²⁴²⁴ by night,³⁵⁷¹ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Rabbi,⁴⁴⁶¹ we know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ thou art a teacher¹³²⁰ come²⁰⁶⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ no man³⁷⁶² can¹⁴¹⁰ do⁴¹⁶⁰ these⁵⁰²³ miracles⁴⁵⁹² that³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ doest,⁴¹⁶⁰ except³³⁶² God²³¹⁶ be⁵⁶⁰⁰ with³³²⁶ him.⁸⁴⁶

3  Jesus²⁴²⁴ answered⁶¹¹ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Verily,²⁸¹ verily,²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ Except³³⁶² a man⁵¹⁰⁰ be born¹⁰⁸⁰ again,⁵⁰⁹ he cannot^{1410 3756} see¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

4  Nicodemus³⁵³⁰ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ can¹⁴¹⁰ a man⁴⁴⁴ be born¹⁰⁸⁰ when he is⁵⁶⁰⁷ old?¹⁰⁸⁸ can¹⁴¹⁰ he³³⁶¹ enter¹⁵²⁵ the second time¹²⁰⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ mother's³³⁸⁴ womb,²⁸³⁶ and²⁵³² be born?¹⁰⁸⁰

5  Jesus²⁴²⁴ answered,⁶¹¹ Verily,²⁸¹ verily,²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ Except³³⁶² a man⁵¹⁰⁰ be born¹⁰⁸⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ water⁵²⁰⁴ and²⁵³² of the Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ he cannot^{1410 3756} enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God.²³¹⁶

6  That which is born¹⁰⁸⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ flesh;⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² that which is born¹⁰⁸⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

7  Marvel²²⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ I said²⁰³⁶ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ Ye⁵²⁰⁹ must¹¹⁶³ be born¹⁰⁸⁰ again.⁵⁰⁹

8  The³⁵⁸⁸ wind⁴¹⁵¹ bloweth⁴¹⁵⁴ where³⁶⁹⁹ it listeth,²³⁰⁹ and²⁵³² thou hearest¹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sound⁵⁴⁵⁶ thereof,⁸⁴⁶ but²³⁵ canst not tell^{1492 3756} whence⁴¹⁵⁹ it cometh,²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² whither⁴²²⁶ it goeth:⁵²¹⁷ so³⁷⁷⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ every one³⁹⁵⁶ that is born¹⁰⁸⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

9  Nicodemus³⁵³⁰ answered⁶¹¹ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ can¹⁴¹⁰ these things⁵⁰²³ be?¹⁰⁹⁶

10  Jesus²⁴²⁴ answered⁶¹¹ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ a master¹³²⁰ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² knowest¹⁰⁹⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ these things?⁵⁰²³

11  Verily,²⁸¹ verily,²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ We³⁷⁵⁴ speak²⁹⁸⁰ that³⁷³⁹ we do know,¹⁴⁹² and²⁵³² testify³¹⁴⁰ that³⁷³⁹ we have seen;³⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² ye receive²⁹⁸³ not³⁷⁵⁶ our²²⁵⁷ witness.³¹⁴¹

12  If¹⁴⁸⁷ I have told²⁰³⁶ you⁵²¹³ earthly things,¹⁹¹⁹ and²⁵³² ye believe⁴¹⁰⁰ not,³⁷⁵⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall ye believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ if¹⁴³⁷ I tell²⁰³⁶ you⁵²¹³ of heavenly things?²⁰³²

13  And²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² hath ascended up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² but¹⁵⁰⁸ he that came down²⁵⁹⁷ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven,³⁷⁷² even the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² heaven.³⁷⁷²

14  And²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ lifted up⁵³¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ serpent³⁷⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ wilderness,²⁰⁴⁸ even so³⁷⁷⁹ must¹¹⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ be lifted up:⁵³¹²

15  That²⁴⁴³ whosoever³⁹⁵⁶ believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ should not³³⁶¹ perish,⁶²² but²³⁵ have²¹⁹² eternal¹⁶⁶ life.²²²²

16  For¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ so³⁷⁷⁹ loved²⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ world,²⁸⁸⁹ that⁵⁶²⁰ he gave¹³²⁵ his⁸⁴⁸ only begotten³⁴³⁹ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ that²⁴⁴³ whosoever³⁹⁵⁶ believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ should not³³⁶¹ perish,⁶²² but²³⁵ have²¹⁹² everlasting¹⁶⁶ life.²²²²

17  For¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ sent⁶⁴⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ to²⁴⁴³ condemn²⁹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world;²⁸⁸⁹ but²³⁵ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ through¹²²³ him⁸⁴⁶ might be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

18  He that believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ is not³⁷⁵⁶ condemned:²⁹¹⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ he that believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ is condemned²⁹¹⁹ already,²²³⁵ because³⁷⁵⁴ he hath not³³⁶¹ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ only begotten³⁴³⁹ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

19  And¹¹⁶¹ this³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ condemnation,²⁹²⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ light⁵⁴⁵⁷ is come²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world,²⁸⁸⁹ and²⁵³² men⁴⁴⁴ loved²⁵ darkness⁴⁶⁵⁵ rather³¹²³ than²²²⁸ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ because¹⁰⁶³ their⁸⁴⁶ deeds²⁰⁴¹ were²²⁵⁸ evil.⁴¹⁹⁰

20  For¹⁰⁶³ every one³⁹⁵⁶ that doeth⁴²³⁸ evil⁵³³⁷ hateth³⁴⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ neither^{2532 3756} cometh²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ lest³³⁶³ his⁸⁴⁶ deeds²⁰⁴¹ should be reproved.¹⁶⁵¹

21  But¹¹⁶¹ he that doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ truth²²⁵ cometh²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ that²⁴⁴³ his⁸⁴⁶ deeds²⁰⁴¹ may be made manifest,⁵³¹⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ they are²⁰⁷⁶ wrought²⁰³⁸ in¹⁷²² God.²³¹⁶

22  After³³²⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ came²⁰⁶⁴ Jesus²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ disciples³¹⁰¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ land¹⁰⁹³ of Judea;²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² there¹⁵⁶³ he tarried¹³⁰⁴ with³³²⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² baptized.⁹⁰⁷

23  And¹¹⁶¹ John²⁴⁹¹ also²⁵³² was²²⁵⁸ baptizing⁹⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² Aenon¹³⁷ near to¹⁴⁵¹ Salim,⁴⁵³⁰ because³⁷⁵⁴ there was²²⁵⁸ much⁴¹⁸³ water⁵²⁰⁴ there:¹⁵⁶³ and²⁵³² they came,³⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² were baptized.⁹⁰⁷

24  For¹⁰⁶³ John²⁴⁹¹ was²²⁵⁸ not yet³⁷⁶⁸ cast⁹⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ prison.⁵⁴³⁸

25  Then³⁷⁶⁷ there arose¹⁰⁹⁶ a question²²¹⁴ between some of¹⁵³⁷ John's²⁴⁹¹ disciples³¹⁰¹ and³³²⁶ the Jews²⁴⁵³ about⁴⁰¹² purifying.²⁵¹²

26  And²⁵³² they came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ John,²⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Rabbi,⁴⁴⁶¹ he that³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ beyond⁴⁰⁰⁸ Jordan,²⁴⁴⁶ to whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ barest witness,³¹⁴⁰ behold,²³⁹⁶ the same³⁷⁷⁸ baptizeth,⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ men come²⁰⁶⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ him.⁸⁴⁶

27  John²⁴⁹¹ answered⁶¹¹ and²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ A man⁴⁴⁴ can^{1410 3756} receive²⁹⁸³ nothing,³⁷⁶² except³³⁶² it be⁵⁶⁰⁰ given¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven.³⁷⁷²

28  Ye⁵²¹⁰ yourselves⁸⁴⁶ bear me witness,^{3140 3427} that³⁷⁵⁴ I said,²⁰³⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ but²³⁵ that³⁷⁵⁴ I am¹⁵¹⁰ sent⁶⁴⁹ before¹⁷¹⁵ him.¹⁵⁶⁵

29  He that hath²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ bride³⁵⁶⁵ is²⁰⁷⁶ the bridegroom:³⁵⁶⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ friend⁵³⁸⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ bridegroom,³⁵⁶⁶ which standeth²⁴⁷⁶ and²⁵³² heareth¹⁹¹ him,⁸⁴⁶ rejoiceth⁵⁴⁶³ greatly⁵⁴⁷⁹ because¹²²³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ bridegroom's³⁵⁶⁶ voice:⁵⁴⁵⁶ this³⁷⁷⁸ my¹⁶⁹⁹ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ is fulfilled.⁴¹³⁷

30  He¹⁵⁶⁵ must¹¹⁶³ increase,⁸³⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁶⁹¹ must decrease.¹⁶⁴²

31  He that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ from above⁵⁰⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ above¹⁸⁸³ all:³⁹⁵⁶ he that is⁵⁶⁰⁷ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ is²⁰⁷⁶ earthly,^{1537 1093} and²⁵³² speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth:¹⁰⁹³ he that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² is²⁰⁷⁶ above¹⁸⁸³ all.³⁹⁵⁶

32  And²⁵³² what³⁷³⁹ he hath seen³⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² heard,¹⁹¹ that⁵¹²⁴ he testifieth;³¹⁴⁰ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² receiveth²⁹⁸³ his⁸⁴⁶ testimony.³¹⁴¹

33  He that hath received²⁹⁸³ his⁸⁴⁶ testimony³¹⁴¹ hath set to his seal⁴⁹⁷² that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ true.²²⁷

34  For¹⁰⁶³ he whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath sent⁶⁴⁹ speaketh²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ words⁴⁴⁸⁷ of God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ giveth¹³²⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ by¹⁵³⁷ measure³³⁵⁸ unto him.

35  The³⁵⁸⁸ Father³⁹⁶² loveth²⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² hath given¹³²⁵ all things³⁹⁵⁶ into¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ hand.⁵⁴⁹⁵

36  He that believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ hath²¹⁹² everlasting¹⁶⁶ life:²²²² and¹¹⁶¹ he that believeth⁵⁴⁴ not the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ shall not³⁷⁵⁶ see³⁷⁰⁰ life;²²²² but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ wrath³⁷⁰⁹ of God²³¹⁶ abideth³³⁰⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him.⁸⁴⁶

Vul

1 Erat autem homo ex pharisæis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judæorum.

2 Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest hæc signa facere, quæ tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.

3 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.

4 Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suæ iterato introire et renasci?

5 Respondit Jesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.

6 Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.

7 Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.

8 Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu.

9 Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt hæc fieri?

10 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israël, et hæc ignoras?

11 amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.

12 Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis cælestia, credetis?

13 Et nemo ascendit in cælum, nisi qui descendit de cælo, Filius hominis, qui est in cælo.

14 Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:

15 ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.

16 Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.

17 Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.

18 Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.

19 Hoc est autem judicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.

20 Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus:

21 qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.

22 Post hæc venit Jesus et discipuli ejus in terram Judæam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.

23 Erat autem et Joannes baptizans, in Ænnon, juxta Salim: quia aquæ multæ erant illic, et veniebant et baptizabantur.

24 Nondum enim missus fuerat Joannes in carcerem.

25 Facta est autem quæstio ex discipulis Joannis cum Judæis de purificatione.

26 Et venerunt ad Joannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Jordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.

27 Respondit Joannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de cælo.

28 Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.

29 Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est: amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est.

30 Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.

31 Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de cælo venit, super omnes est.

32 Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium ejus nemo accipit.

33 Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.

34 Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.

35 Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus.

36 Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam; qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum.
