emembered that he had spoken
thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which
Jesus had spoken.

(23)Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast,
many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.
(24)But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew
them all, (25)and because he had no need that any man should testify
respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

CHAP. III.

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler
of the Jews: (2)this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him,
Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him. (3)Jesus
