Nicodemus
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council who came to Jesus by night to discuss his teachings. He is mentioned in the Gospel of John, particularly in the conversation with Jesus about being born again. Nicodemus later defended Jesus before the council.
A:The trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin is in the synoptic gospels: Matthew 26:57-66, Mark 14:53-64, Luke 22:66-71. In Matthew and Mark, the trial takes place soon after Jesus is arrested at midnight, but in Luke the priests wait until daybreak, since the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus. John's Gospel does not have a trial before the Sanhedrin, but has Jesus taken first to the house of Annas, father-in-law to the high priest, who interrogated him alone. Then Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest, Caiaphas, who again interviewed Jesus alone.
I John 3, we learn that Nicodemus, a Pharisee, came to Jesus in the night to say that he recognised that Jesus, because of the signs and miracles, was surely of God, that he had God with him. Jesus went on to speak to Nicodemus about the need to be "born again" in order to see the kingdom of God.
He was born a Roman citizen and was a Pharisee. Jesus appeared to him and he became a follower of the messiah, savior, Christ. Then he tried to spread the Gospel to help souls gets born-again, and he helped new Christians to stay on track in life.
No He did not. Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. Jesus was with God in Heaven and came to earth through a virgin birth by Mary. Jesus came here to tell us that there was a way out of our doomed path to hell. Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is the Savior. Jesus is the Son of God. There is no reason for Him to join a club. By believing in Him and repenting of our old sinful life, we can be born again. Club member? No.
Jesus won't preach when he returns, but he will rule.
Event A) Jesus was born Event B) Jesus died Event C) Jesus rose again and Not-yet-an-Event) Jesus will come again
There is only one requirement to be a member of Christ's church - to be born again. As Jesus said in John 3. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Mark 14:53-65 (Matthew 26:57-67) [Immediately after Jesus was arrested at Gethsemane]#* 53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and teachers of the law came together...55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. 57 Then some stood up and gave false testimony against him: 58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man.'" 59 Yet even then, their testimony did not agree. 60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" 62 "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the son of man sitting at the right hand of the mighty one and coming on the clouds of heaven." 63 The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. 64 "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards took him and beat him.
Jesus lived in Jerusalem, and traveled in Galilee.
A Jesus believer is a "Born again" person (spiritually) A Christian.
