This document is a scripture reading from the Gospel of John chapter 3 verses 1-8. It describes an encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Pharisee. Jesus tells Nicodemus that one must be "born again" or "born from above" in order to see the kingdom of God. When Nicodemus does not understand, Jesus explains that one must be "born of water and the Spirit" in order to enter God's kingdom. Jesus compares being born again by the Spirit to the wind, which one can feel but not see.
