John 3:1

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

See the chapter Copy

Pilate then called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people

Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds.

Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
