Some of translations for the verse have been provided as below: Language(s) or distinctive feature(s) He also criticised Nicodemus for his lack in the understanding of theology. Jesus then spoke about salvation and of the damnation that those who do not believe in him will face. He then added: "For no-one could perform the miraculous signs he was doing if God were not with him." They then discussed the need to be born again before being able to see the Kingdom of God and where the spirit goes after the death of the body. Nicodemus said he knew Jesus was "a teacher who came from God". Later, Nicodemus became a follower of Jesus. To avoid trouble with other Pharisees, Nicodemus came to Jesus at night it is the only time a Pharisee is presented positively in the presence of Jesus. It was known for its strict adherence to the halakha (Jewish law), and for its highly oppositional attitudes of the ministry of Jesus. Nicodemus was a member of the Pharisees, a Jewish religious movement in Second Temple Judaism. Unlike Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the Gospel of John is the only one to mention Jesus' life not in chronological order. The meeting, likely in Jerusalem, is part of the passion of Jesus. Nicodemus is never mentioned in the synoptic Gospels, and this is one of four times John mentions him: the others are 2:23–25, where he appeared but was unmentioned 7:50 and 19:39. The third chapter of the Gospel of John begins with the conversation between Nicodemus, a Pharisee, and Jesus, a Jewish itinerant preacher. John 3:16 appears in the conversation between Nicodemus, a Pharisee, who only appears in the gospel, and Jesus, the son of God, and shows the motives of God the Father on sending Jesus to save humanity.īiblical context Jesus (left) and Nicodemus at night, depicted by William Hole Particularly famous among evangelical Protestants, the verse has been frequently referenced by the Christian media and figures.įor God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. It is deemed one of the most popular verses from the Bible and is a summary of one of Christianity's central doctrines the relationship between the Father (God) and the Son of God (Jesus). Who or what is it in your world that maybe you need to reconsider? Let’s put on the lenses of the Samaritans and be willing to reconsider our view.John 3:16 is the sixteenth verse in the third chapter of the Gospel of John, one of the four gospels in the New Testament. There is a lot of despising happening all around us, all the time. Yet, here in today’s verse, like in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’re seeing a group of people recognize the good in someone who is unlike themselves. These are words we are not supposed to use or feelings we’re not supposed to have. Yet, not too many years ago did I learn (or maybe it was then that I really grasped this idea…) that Samaritans and Jewish people despised one another. Reflection: Growing up in the faith, I was often told be like the Good Samaritan. Many more believed because of his word, and they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this one is truly the savior of the world.” John 4:39-42 Bible Verse: Many Samaritans in that city believed in Jesus because of the woman’s word when she testified, “He told me everything I’ve ever done.” So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
