Chap. III.
He teacheth Nicodemus, that to come to the kingdom of God, Baptisme is necessarie, as
being our Regeneration. 10 Vvhich point Nicodemus as then not vnderst&abar;ding,
11 he shevveth that they must beleeue him, and vvhat good cause there is for them
so to doe. 23. After this he also baptizeth, and Iohn likevvise at the same time.
25 Wherevpon a question being moued, Whether Baptisme is better, 25 Iohn
ansvvereth it by saying, that he is so far inferiour to Christ, as a mere man to
God most high.
1 noteAnd there vvas a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a prince of the Ievves.
2 This
man came to Iesvs by night, and said to him,
Rabbi, vve knovv that thou art come from
God a maister, for no man can doe these signes
vvhich thou doest, vnles God be vvith him.
3 Iesvs
ansvvered, and said to him, Amen, Amen I say to thee, Vnles
a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said to him, Hovv can a man be borne, vvhen
he is old? can he enter into his mothers vvombe againe and
be borne?
5 Iesvs ansvvered, Amen, Amen I say to thee, Vnles
a man be09Q0792 borne againe of vvater and the Spirit, he can not
enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That vvhich is borne of
the flesh, is flesh: & that vvhich is borne of the spirit, is spirit.
7 Marueil not, that I said to thee, You must be borne againe.
8 The spirit breatheth vvhere note he vvil: and thou hearest his
voice, but thou knovvest not vvhence he commeth and
vvhither he goeth: so is euery one that is borne of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus ansvvered, & said to him, Hovv can these things
be done?
10 Iesvs ansvvered, and said to him, Thou art a
-- --
maister in Israel, and art thou ignorant of these things?
11 Amen, Amen I say to thee, that vve speake that vvhich vve
knovv, and that vvhich vve haue seen vve testifie, and our testimonie
you receiue not.
12 If haue spoken to you earthly
things, and you beleeue not: hovv if I shal speake to you
heauenly things, vvil you beleeue?
13 And no man hath ascended
into heauen, but he that descended from heauen, the
Sonne of man vvhich is in heauen.
14 And as note Moyses exalted
the serpent in the desert, so must the Sonne of man be
exalted:
15 that euery one vvhich beleeueth in him, perish
not, but may haue life euerlasting.
16 For so God loued the
vvorld, that he gaue his only-begotten sonne: that euery one
that beleeueth in him, perish not, but may haue life euerlasting.
&cross4; note
17 For God sent not his sonne into the vvorld, to
iudge the vvorld, but that the vvorld may be saued by him.
18 He that beleeueth in him, is not iudged. but he that doeth
not beleeue,09Q0793 is already iudged: because he hath not beleeued
in the name of the only-begotten sonne of God.
19 And this
is the iudgment: because the light is come into the vvorld,
and men haue loued the darkenesse rather then the light: for
their vvorkes vvere euil.
20 For euery one that doeth il, hateth
the light, and commeth not to the light, that his vvorkes
may not be controuled.
21 But he that doeth veritie, commeth
to the light, that his vvorkes may be made manifest, because
they vvere done in God. &cross4;
22 After these things Iesvs came and his Disciples into
the countrie of Ievvrie: and there he abode vvith them, and
baptized.
23 And Iohn also vvas baptizing in Ænon beside
Salim: because there vvas much vvater there, and they came,
and vvere baptized.
24 For Iohn vvas not yet cast into prison.
25 And there rose a question of Iohns disciples vvith
the Ievves concerning purification.
26 And they came to
Iohn, and said to him, Rabbi, he that vvas vvith thee beyond
Iordan, to vvhom note thou didst giue testimonie, behold he
baptizeth, and al come to him.
27 Iohn ansvvered and said,
A man can not receiue any thing, vnlesse it be giuen him from
heauen.
28 Your selues doe beare me vvitnesse, note that I said,
I am not Christ: but that I am sent before him.
29 He that
hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the frende of the bridegrome
that standeth and heareth him, reioyceth vvith ioy
for the voice of the bridegrome. This my ioy therfore is filled.
-- --
30 He must increase, and I diminishe.
31 09Q0794He that c&obar;meth
from aboue, is aboue al. He that is of the earth, of the earth
he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that commeth from
heauen, is aboue al.
32 And vvhat he hath seen and heard,
that he testifieth: and his testimonie no man receiueth.
33 He
that hath receiued his testimonie, hath signed that God is true.
34 For he vvhom God hath sent, speaketh the vvordes of
God, for God doth not giue the spirit by measure.
35 The Father
loueth the Sonne: & he hath giuen al things in his hand.
36 He that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath life euerlasting: but he
that is incredulous to the Sonne, shal not see life, but the
vvrath of God remaineth vpon him.
