WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.880 Chapter 3 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 00:06.700 --> 00:11.540 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that 00:11.540 --> 00:13.260 thou art a teacher come from God. 00:13.840 --> 00:18.640 For no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 00:18.920 --> 00:23.500 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 00:24.280 --> 00:28.520 except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 00:28.520 --> 00:33.000 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? 00:33.860 --> 00:37.840 Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born? 00:38.220 --> 00:43.380 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of 00:43.380 --> 00:47.040 water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 00:47.940 --> 00:53.060 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is 00:53.060 --> 00:53.400 spirit. 00:53.400 --> 00:58.080 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 00:59.300 --> 01:03.700 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, 01:03.860 --> 01:06.920 but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth. 01:07.620 --> 01:09.940 So is every one that is born of the Spirit. 01:10.200 --> 01:13.940 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 01:14.320 --> 01:18.200 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest 01:18.200 --> 01:19.060 not these things? 01:20.060 --> 01:25.420 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that 01:25.420 --> 01:26.060 we have seen. 01:26.860 --> 01:28.280 And ye receive not our witness. 01:28.960 --> 01:32.400 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe 01:32.400 --> 01:34.180 if I tell you of heavenly things? 01:35.120 --> 01:38.900 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, 01:39.220 --> 01:40.960 even the Son of man which is in heaven. 01:42.200 --> 01:47.380 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be 01:47.380 --> 01:47.880 lifted up. 01:48.800 --> 01:53.040 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 01:54.080 --> 01:59.960 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever 01:59.960 --> 02:03.400 believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 02:04.240 --> 02:09.220 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world 02:09.220 --> 02:10.760 through him might be saved. 02:11.780 --> 02:16.360 He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned 02:16.360 --> 02:20.860 already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 02:22.260 --> 02:27.200 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved 02:27.200 --> 02:30.300 darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 02:31.300 --> 02:35.620 For every one that doeth evil hated the light, neither cometh to the light, 02:35.820 --> 02:37.500 lest his deeds should be reproved. 02:38.360 --> 02:42.800 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made 02:42.800 --> 02:45.580 manifest, that they are wrought in God. 02:45.860 --> 02:49.520 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea, 02:49.920 --> 02:51.760 and there he tarried with them and baptized. 02:52.220 --> 02:56.400 And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salem, because there was much water 02:56.400 --> 02:56.700 there. 02:57.620 --> 03:02.020 And they came and were baptized, for John was not yet cast into prison. 03:03.060 --> 03:07.280 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about 03:07.280 --> 03:08.000 purifying. 03:08.900 --> 03:13.200 And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond 03:13.200 --> 03:18.380 Jordan, to whom thou bearest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men 03:18.380 --> 03:19.100 come to him. 03:19.660 --> 03:24.020 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from 03:24.020 --> 03:24.320 heaven. 03:25.500 --> 03:31.080 Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent 03:31.080 --> 03:31.780 before him. 03:32.500 --> 03:35.380 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom. 03:35.860 --> 03:39.100 But the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, 03:39.880 --> 03:42.740 rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice. 03:43.560 --> 03:45.520 This my joy therefore is fulfilled. 03:46.220 --> 03:49.580 He must increase, but I must decrease. 03:50.300 --> 03:52.760 He that cometh from above is above all. 03:53.360 --> 03:57.100 He that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. 03:57.980 --> 04:00.900 He that cometh from heaven is above all. 04:01.640 --> 04:06.880 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiveth 04:06.880 --> 04:07.520 his testimony. 04:08.280 --> 04:12.880 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 04:13.540 --> 04:16.580 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the word of God. 04:17.220 --> 04:20.040 For God giveth not the spirit by measure unto him. 04:20.620 --> 04:25.080 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 04:25.660 --> 04:29.080 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. 04:29.720 --> 04:33.360 And he that believeth not the Son shall not see life. 04:33.980 --> 04:36.480 But the wrath of God abideth on him.
