GOSPEL READING
JOHN 3:1-8

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN
(UNLESS A MAN IS BORN FROM ABOVE, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.)
There was one of the Pharisees called Nicodemus, a leading Jew, who came to Jesus by night and said,
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who comes from God;
for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with him.”
Jesus answered:
“I tell you most solemnly, unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said,
“How can a grown man be born?
Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”
Jesus replied:
“I tell you most solemnly,
unless a man is born through water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God:
what is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be surprised when I say:
you must be born from above.
The wind blows wherever it pleases; you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
That is how it is with all who are born of the Spirit.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
R.) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
