1 Was and a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus a name to him, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that from God thou hast come a teacher; no one for these the signs is able to do, which thou doest, except may be the God with him. 3 Answered the Jesus and said to him: Indeed indeed I say to thee, if not any one may be born from above, not is able to see the kingdom of the God. 4 Says to him the Nicodemus: How is able a man to be born old being? not is able into the womb of the mother of himself a second time to enter, and to be born? 5 Answered Jesus: Indeed indeed I say to thee, if not any one may be born out of water and spirit, not is able to enter into the kingdom of the God. 6 That having been born out of the flesh, flesh is; and that having been born out of the spirit, a spirit is. 7 Not thou mayest wonder, that I said to thee: Must you to be born from above. 8 The spirit where it wills breathes; and the sound of it thou hearest, but not thou knowest, whence it comes, and where it goes; thus is every one the having been born out of of the spirit. 9 Answered Nicodemus and said to him: How is able these to be? 10 Answered Jesus and said to him: Thou art the teacher of the Israel, and these not thou knowest? 11 Indeed indeed I say to thee, that which we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; and the testimony of us not you receive. 12 If the things earthly I told you, and not you believed; how, I tell you the things heavenly, will you believe? 13 And no one has ascended into the heaven, except he out of the heaven having descended, the son of the man, the being in the heaven. 14 And even as Moses raised aloft the serpent in the desert, thus to be raised it behooves the son of the man; 15 that every one who believing into him, not may be destroyed, but may have life agelasting. 16 Thus for loved the God the world, so that the son of himself the only-begotten he gave, that every one who believing into him, not may be destroyed, but may have life age-lasting. 17 Not for sent the God the son of himself into the world, that he might judge the world, but that might be saved the world through him. 18 He believing into him, not is judged; he but not believing, already is judged, became not he has believed into the name of the only-begotten son of the God. 19 This and is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and loved the man rather the darkness, than the light; was for evil of them the works. 20 Every one for the vile things doing, hates the light, and not comes to the light, that not may be detected the works of him. 21 He but doing the truth comes to the light, so that may be made manifest of him the works, that in God it is having been done.

22 After these came the Jesus and the disciples of him into the Judean land; and there remained with them, and was dipping. 23 Was and also John dipping in Enon, near the Salim, because waters many was there; and they were coming, and were being dipped. 24 Not yet for was having been cast into the prison the John. 25 Occurred then a disciple of the disciples of John with a Jew about cleansing. 26 And they came to the John, and said to him: Rabbi, who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou has testified, behold, he dips, and all come to him. 27 Answered John and said: Not is able a man to receive nothing, except it may be having been given to him from the heaven. 28 Yourselves you to me bear testimony, that I said: Not am I the Anointed, but that having been sent I am in presence of him. 29 He having the bride, a bridegroom is; the but friend of the bridegroom, that standing and hearing him, with joy rejoices through the voices of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy that of me has been completed. 30 Him it behooves to increase, me but to increase.

31 He from above coming, over all is. He being from the earth, from the earth is, and from the earth speaks; he from the heaven coming, over all is, 32 and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and the testimony of him no one receives. 33 He receiving of him the testimony, has set his seal, that the God true is. 34 Whom for has sent the God, the words of the God speaks; not for by measure gives the God the spirit. 35 The Father loves the son, and all has been given in the hand of him. 36 He believing into the son, has life age-lasting; he but disobeying the son, not shall see life, but the anger of the God abides on him.
