1 Между фарисеями был некто, именем Никодим, один из начальников Иудейских.
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Он пришел к Иисусу ночью и сказал Ему: Равви! мы знаем, что Ты учитель, пришедший от Бога; ибо таких чудес, какие Ты творишь, никто не может творить, если не будет с ним Бог.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
3 Иисус сказал ему в ответ: истинно, истинно говорю тебе, если кто не родится свыше, не может увидеть Царствия Божия.
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
4 Никодим говорит Ему: как может человек родиться, будучи стар? неужели может он в другой раз войти в утробу матери своей и родиться?
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Иисус отвечал: истинно, истинно говорю тебе, если кто не родится от воды и Духа, не может войти в Царствие Божие.
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
6 Рожденное от плоти есть плоть, а рожденное от Духа есть дух.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Не удивляйся тому, что Я сказал тебе: должно вам родиться свыше.
7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
8 Дух дышит, где хочет, и голос его слышишь, а не знаешь, откуда приходит и куда уходит: так бывает со всяким, рожденным от Духа.
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Никодим сказал Ему в ответ: как это может быть?
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
10 Иисус отвечал и сказал ему: ты — учитель Израилев, и этого ли не знаешь?
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
11 Истинно, истинно говорю тебе: мы говорим о том, что знаем, и свидетельствуем о том, что видели, а вы свидетельства Нашего не принимаете.
11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
12 Если Я сказал вам о земном, и вы не верите, — как поверите, если буду говорить вам о небесном?
12 If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Никто не восходил на небо, как только сшедший с небес Сын Человеческий, сущий на небесах.
13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 И как Моисей вознес змию в пустыне, так должно вознесену быть Сыну Человеческому,
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 дабы всякий, верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную.
15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 Ибо так возлюбил Бог мир, что отдал Сына Своего Единородного, дабы всякий верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 Ибо не послал Бог Сына Своего в мир, чтобы судить мир, но чтобы мир спасен был чрез Него.
17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18 Верующий в Него не судится, а неверующий уже осужден, потому что не уверовал во имя Единородного Сына Божия.
18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
19 Суд же состоит в том, что свет пришел в мир; но люди более возлюбили тьму, нежели свет, потому что дела их были злы;
19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
20 ибо всякий, делающий злое, ненавидит свет и не идет к свету, чтобы не обличились дела его, потому что они злы,
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
21 а поступающий по правде идет к свету, дабы явны были дела его, потому что они в Боге соделаны.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
22 После сего пришел Иисус с учениками Своими в землю Иудейскую и там жил с ними и крестил.
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
23 А Иоанн также крестил в Еноне, близ Салима, потому что там было много воды; и приходили туда и крестились,
23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
24 ибо Иоанн еще не был заключен в темницу.
24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 Тогда у Иоанновых учеников произошел спор с Иудеями об очищении.
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
26 И пришли к Иоанну и сказали ему: равви! Тот, Который был с тобою при Иордане и о Котором ты свидетельствовал, вот Он крестит, и все идут к Нему.
26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
27 Иоанн сказал в ответ: не может человек ничего принимать на себя, если не будет дано ему с неба.
27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
28 Вы сами мне свидетели в том, что я сказал: не я Христос, но я послан пред Ним.
28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
29 Имеющий невесту есть жених, а друг жениха, стоящий и внимающий ему, радостью радуется, слыша голос жениха. Сия-то радость моя исполнилась.
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
30 Ему должно расти, а мне умаляться.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Приходящий свыше и есть выше всех; а сущий от земли земной и есть и говорит, как сущий от земли; Приходящий с небес есть выше всех,
31 “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 и что Он видел и слышал, о том и свидетельствует; и никто не принимает свидетельства Его.
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
33 Принявший Его свидетельство сим запечатлел, что Бог истинен,
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 ибо Тот, Которого послал Бог, говорит слова Божии; ибо не мерою дает Бог Духа.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
35 Отец любит Сына и все дал в руку Его.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Верующий в Сына имеет жизнь вечную, а не верующий в Сына не увидит жизни, но гнев Божий пребывает на нем.
36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We observe, beloved, that the intimation with which we yesterday excited your attention has brought you together with more alacrity, and in greater number than usual; but meanwhile let us, if you please, pay our debt of a discourse on the Gospel Lesson, which comes in due course.

Little children who go daily to their teachers receive their lessons, and repeat them, and never cease from this kind of acquisition, but sometimes employ nights as well as days, and this they are compelled to do for perishable and transient things.

For Christ also said, "Except ye be born again, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Now, that it is impossible for those who have once been born to enter into their mothers' wombs, is manifest to all.
… that men can be saved in no other way from the old wound of the serpent than by believing in Him who, in the likeness of sinful flesh, is lifted up from the earth upon the tree of martyrdom, and draws all things to Himself, and vivifies the dead.
These I directed, O sweet Truth, to Thy inward melody, pondering on the "fair and fit," and longing to stay and listen to Thee, and to rejoice greatly at the Bridegroom's voice, and I could not; for by the voices of my own errors was I driven forth, and by the weight of my own pride was I sinking into …
