Nicodemus came by night. By his questions we know he’s interested. But he is a righteous and cautious man with a reputation to maintain. He needs to know what this Jesus guy is about. Jesus appears to be from God, otherwise how could he perform healings and miracles? But he speaks in riddles. Nicodemus doesn’t understand. It’s as if Jesus is answering different questions than Nicodemus had asked. Is he a charlatan? A philosopher? Perhaps. Yet there’s the evidence of those miracles and healings. No one could do these things unless he is sent by God, could he? Could he?
