John 3:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² 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.

³ 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.

⁴ 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?
