Nicodemus Pharisee Who Came by Night
About Nicodemus
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus secretly at night to learn from Him and heard the famous teaching about being "born again." Though initially cautious, Nicodemus later defended Jesus before the council and ultimately helped Joseph of Arimathea prepare Jesus' body for burial, bringing a costly mixture of myrrh and aloes.
