John 3:1

Catholic Public Domain Version

Now there was a man among the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

See the chapter Copy

And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,

Now Nicodemus also arrived, (who had gone to Jesus at first by night) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloe, weighing about seventy pounds.

Jesus responded and said to him: "You are a teacher in Israel, and you are ignorant of these things?

And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?
