There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about seventy-five pounds.
Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, but you do not know these things?
Here He is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers indeed know that this is really the Christ?
