AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 3:2 who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, "Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs [these wonders, these attesting miracles] that You do unless God is with him." |
Bible Question: Do you think Nicodemus was scared if the other pharisees knew about his meeting with Jesus he would be killed |
Bible Answer: We just don't know. John 7:50 "Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?" Later, Nicodemus stood up for Jesus, which takes more fortitude than just being seen with someone. But then, this happened later. Myself, I would like to think that Nicodemus met with Jesus at night because he was a busy man. But we do not know. Whatever the reason, he eventually made his choice for Jesus, and was one of His, and that's what truly matters. Love in Christ, Mark |
