Jean - Caput 3

Jean 3.1 erat autem homo ex Pharisaeis Nicodemus nomine princeps Iudaeorum Jean 3.2 hic venit ad eum nocte et dixit ei rabbi scimus quia a Deo venisti magister nemo enim potest haec signa facere quae tu facis nisi fuerit Deus cum eo Jean 3.3 respondit Iesus et dixit ei amen amen dico tibi nisi quis natus fuerit denuo non potest videre regnum Dei Jean 3.4 dicit ad eum Nicodemus quomodo potest homo nasci cum senex sit numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire et nasci Jean 3.5 respondit Iesus amen amen dico tibi nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua et Spiritu non potest introire in regnum Dei Jean 3.6 quod natum est ex carne caro est et quod natum est ex Spiritu spiritus est Jean 3.7 non mireris quia dixi tibi oportet vos nasci denuo Jean 3.8 Spiritus ubi vult spirat et vocem eius audis sed non scis unde veniat et quo vadat sic est omnis qui natus est ex Spiritu Jean 3.9 respondit Nicodemus et dixit ei quomodo possunt haec fieri Jean 3.10 respondit Iesus et dixit ei tu es magister Israhel et haec ignoras Jean 3.11 amen amen dico tibi quia quod scimus loquimur et quod vidimus testamur et testimonium nostrum non accipitis Jean 3.12 si terrena dixi vobis et non creditis quomodo si dixero vobis caelestia credetis Jean 3.13 et nemo ascendit in caelum nisi qui descendit de caelo Filius hominis qui est in caelo Jean 3.14 et sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in deserto ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis Jean 3.15 ut omnis qui credit in ipso non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam Jean 3.16 sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam Jean 3.17 non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum ut iudicet mundum sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum Jean 3.18 qui credit in eum non iudicatur qui autem non credit iam iudicatus est quia non credidit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei Jean 3.19 hoc est autem iudicium quia lux venit in mundum et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem erant enim eorum mala opera Jean 3.20 omnis enim qui mala agit odit lucem et non venit ad lucem ut non arguantur opera eius Jean 3.21 qui autem facit veritatem venit ad lucem ut manifestentur eius opera quia in Deo sunt facta Jean 3.22 post haec venit Iesus et discipuli eius in iudaeam terram et illic demorabatur cum eis et baptizabat Jean 3.23 erat autem et Iohannes baptizans in Aenon iuxta Salim quia aquae multae erant illic et adveniebant et baptizabantur Jean 3.24 nondum enim missus fuerat in carcerem Iohannes Jean 3.25 facta est ergo quaestio ex discipulis Iohannis cum Iudaeis de purificatione Jean 3.26 et venerunt ad Iohannem et dixerunt ei rabbi qui erat tecum trans Iordanen cui tu testimonium perhibuisti ecce hic baptizat et omnes veniunt ad eum Jean 3.27 respondit Iohannes et dixit non potest homo accipere quicquam nisi fuerit ei datum de caelo Jean 3.28 ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis quod dixerim ego non sum Christus sed quia missus sum ante illum Jean 3.29 qui habet sponsam sponsus est amicus autem sponsi qui stat et audit eum gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est Jean 3.30 illum oportet crescere me autem minui Jean 3.31 qui desursum venit supra omnes est qui est de terra de terra est et de terra loquitur qui de caelo venit supra omnes est Jean 3.32 et quod vidit et audivit hoc testatur et testimonium eius nemo accipit Jean 3.33 qui accipit eius testimonium signavit quia Deus verax est Jean 3.34 quem enim misit Deus verba Dei loquitur non enim ad mensuram dat Deus Spiritum Jean 3.35 Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu eius Jean 3.36 qui credit in Filium habet vitam aeternam qui autem incredulus est Filio non videbit vitam sed ira Dei manet super eum

Jean : Caput 3

Jesus' Dialogue with Nicodemus

Chapter 3 of the Gospel of John presents us with a profound dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Pharisee searching for truth. This passage is fundamental to understanding the notion of being born again, which addresses the concept of spiritual regeneration, God's love manifested through Christ, and the salvific mission of our Lord.

The Central Themes of John 3

This chapter contains the famous verse John 3:16, which summarizes the essence of divine love. It also includes John the Baptist's testimony about Jesus. Central themes such as faith, judgment, and eternal life are also present, inviting each believer to a deep reflection on their relationship with God.

Five Enlightening Bible Passages

We invite you to consider five biblical passages that illuminate the profound truths of this crucial chapter:

Ezekiel 36:25-27

"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse them from all their filthiness and from all their idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." This passage echoes the concept of "being born of water and of Spirit" mentioned by Jesus in John 3:5.

Numbers 21:8-9

"The Lord said to Moses, 'Make a serpent and put it on a pole; whoever is bitten and looks at it will live.'" Jesus refers to this passage in John 3:14-15, comparing it to His own crucifixion and the promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him.

Isaiah 9:6

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders. And he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." This prophetic verse connects with the statement in John 3:16, which reveals God's immeasurable love in giving his Son to the world.

Deuteronomy 30:15-16

"See that today I set before you life and prosperity, death and destruction. For today I command you to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances." This passage reflects the theme of choice and consequence present in John 3:18-21, calling us to choose life in Christ.

Malachi 4:5-6

"See, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; otherwise I I will come and punish the land with a curse." This prophecy relates to the role of John the Baptist, discussed in John 3:25-30, emphasizing the importance of preparing hearts for the coming of the Messiah. By meditating on these passages, may each person deepen their faith and fully welcome the message of love and salvation that Jesus offers us.
