John 3:1

Young's Literal Translation 1862

And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,

See the chapter Copy

And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know!

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
