3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; ² this man came to ^[a]Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these ^[b]signs that You do unless God is with him.” ³ Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born ^[c]again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  — John 3:1-3 (NASB)
