John 3:1
And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
John 3:2
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
John 19:39-40
39And Nicodemus also came, (he who at the first came to Jesus by night,) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 40They took therefore the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
