Jesus

After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.

And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.

And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.

And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.

The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?

Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up.

The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said.

Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.

But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men,

And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.

Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again?

Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again.

Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done?

Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony.

If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?

And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
