2This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
3Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
4Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
5Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
6That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
7Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
8The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
9Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
10Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
12If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
13For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
14And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
15That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life.
