Everything you need to know about Nicodemus.

In this episode of "Everything you need to know about" We look at every scripture about Nicodemus and break down his role in the christian culture! Nicodemus is a very popular figure in Christianty, but there are only a few verses that mention him! Why is it that people have such lavish ideas and stories about this figure? Did Nicodemus love Jesus? Did Nicodemus fight against Jesus? Does THE CHOSEN get it right in their show? Let's read and find out!

Nicodemus knew very well about the concept of being born again. For many centuries, rabbis had referred to converts to Judaism as being reborn - hence the silliness of "can he enter the second time into his mother's womb?". Nicodemus' question was a trick to trip Jesus up, which Jesus immediately knew & responded sarcastically "art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?"

[@Hondo0101]

You know what's funny. 2000 years later and I care if he was saved. Funny when one thinks about it. As far I know we are not related or have any connection. However, I care. I really do I really hope he was saved.

When my sister found out that I was developing an interest in reading the Holy Bible, she invited me to attend church with her. I went a few times and soon she was trying to get me to be baptized in water at her church. I knew her church wasn't right for me and I expressed this to her one night as we had a long telephone conversation before bed. I also prayed to God that night to help me understand the significance behind the tradition. I fell asleep and had a strange dream that told me to "just go to John 3:9". I woke up immediately after hearing that and searched my Bible for the verse. I learned about Nicodemus for the first time that night and became a true believer in Christ. I believe the Holy Spirit entered a few days after that.

Thank you so much for this clip. Last year, I developed an unusual interest in Nicodemus, and like you said, we don't have many scriptures about him. Until he appears to anoint the dead body of Jesus. I believe he became a secret disciple like Joseph of Arimathea. Thanks for this, I enjoyed it.

[@jenniferlacoe7351]

Lots of debate on why Nic came at night….my two cents: back door politics. 1. A ruler of the Jews, a Pharisee comes to see Jesus and his first recorded statement is, “…we know that you are a teacher come from God…” So, for me, it’s like Nic is saying, “Hey, Jesus, I’m a Rabbi and you are a Rabbi so let’s see if we can work together.” Are our teachings aligned together? But then Jesus, knows the heart of man (see end of John 2). So, Jesus dives right into Nic’s heart.

A straight up and simple breakdown on Nicodemus

[@mytakeonthis2688]

Hi Brandon Thank you so much for sharing this video. The Gospel reading today included the time Nicodemus talked with Jesus centering on the sumation of the Gospel saying, "For God so love the world; he gave his only begotten so." Thus, wanting to know more about Nicodemus. Your video taught me facts I believe relevant to know by people on their quest for truth and eventually strengthening one's faith. What better way to learn this from the prospective of a lay person. I guess I am a person who was not gifted to easily pick up the meaning behind the passages written in the bible. I am so appreciative to people like sharing your kbowledge and presenting them in a manner a slow learner like me can absorb. Thanks so much and look forward to your sharings.

[@kendianorman3670]

This was very informative, thank you, God bless you brother!

[@shufamshumate1689]

Great video as usual Brandon! It is so hard that there is so little detail in the Scriptures about these characters that we want to know about. The Gospels main point was to tell all about Jesus and that’s the most important one we get the details on. I do enjoy the character being explored in The Chosen as long as we remember that it’s just their opinions about Nicodemus, informed by history and tradition. It is so interesting to think about how these people were all those years ago. Keep doing these great videos we really like them!

[@TheSnipeLife]

Thanks for checking this one out!

[@matthewwallace902]

Well done. I’d like to see you guys produce a piece on the curious character Melchizedek. Connections to both Abraham and Christ, thought of by some to have actually been a pre-incarnate of Christ, and most people haven’t got the foggiest of who is being referred to when he’s mentioned in Hebrews 6:20, “whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” I look forward to it- keep up the good works!

[@vickeywithrow764]

Love ❤ your series

[@lesliebooth2833]

I searched Nicodemus and this popped up. I’m doing a Children’s Church lesson on him and the points I’m going to try to make was that he was mentioned in John chapter 3 when Jesus was still free but Nicodemus needed cover of darkness, chapter 7 when Jesus was being falsely accused and held but Nicodemus was defending Jesus’ right to be tried fairly, and 19, when Jesus was executed and Nicodemus was instrumental in burying Him when it could have been quite scandalous or even dangerous for him to do so. I will also point out that Jesus calls Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews and a teacher of Israel. We don’t know if Nicodemus ever knew Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He met Jesus as a knowledgeable religious leader. Maybe he can lead us to ask ourselves if we are just a knowledgeable church-goer, a RINO (religious in name only), and a leader who never actually shares the Gospel message? Or will we learn from Nicodemus and share John 3:16-17 whenever/wherever we can?

[@Mountainhippiedude]

I have similar thoughts. Nicodemus knew Jesus was sent by God, but never appeared to acknowledge Him as God. There is no indication that he was ever willing to walk away from his lofty position in life as a Pharisee to follow Christ. He was lukewarm at best.

[@deFinancechannel]

You should read the apocrypha. The acts of Pilate aka the gospel of nicodemus. It’s incredible. He definitely did try to defend Jesus before Pilate.

[@erc3338]

I wish people talked about the Gospel of Nicodemus more, as it is one of the "forbidden" books that is actually great and probably written by the man it claims it is (like the page we have found of the Gospel of Peter). No, the Book of Pilate or whatever, even though it is paired with the Gospel of Nicodemus, are not 2 parts of 1 book; They are 2 books that were found alongside each other.

[@fairydiaries1123]

[@monical2840]

Want to learn more about Nicodemus? The Gospel of Nicodemus, also known as the Acts of Pilate, is an apocryphal gospel claimed to have been derived from an original Hebrew work written by Nicodemus, who appears in the Gospel of John as an associate of Jesus. The title "Gospel of Nicodemus" is medieval in origin. Dates to approximate 4th or 5th century. source: Wikipedia

[@Hondo0101]

I hope he was saved.

[@sxootysott7570]

He got it

[@Idonttakethisseriously]

good research bro! nicely done

[@BeholdIamaNewCreation]

The Gospel of Nicodemus (Albeit a gnostic romance) still adds a layer within the tapestry of the trial and desperation of the Jewish leaders. It’s quite a read actually. I recommend seasoned Christians to read it. For the new believers I say the Bible is more than enlightened. But after you dive into the Bible, you can’t stop wanting to hear even just a possible work or two more about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Where there is smoke, there is fire. And where there is fire, therein lies the face of God. Jesus is the Christ and there is no other like him.

[@austinwright09]

Hello Brandon. I've stumbled upon your video while I've been searching for more information about who Nicodemus is in the Bible. Long story short, I grew up with religion being seen as an optional tradition within my family. Much of my family so goto church regularly, and again - they have offered when I was younger, and it never stuck. So! I adore a book series called The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher - who, from what I understand, is a very devout man himself. He has also confirmed that his Faith is a heavy influence on this Epic. Fun fact, a child character from.... Not the first published book - Storm Front - but the book he wrote that was meant to be before it: Welcome to the Jungle. The main character - budding private detective Harry Dresden is walking the mean streets of....mid 90s Chicago - the setting is set in modern day Chicago (written from an adult in the 90s perspective) anyway, I digress. Harry Dresden is searching for a reportedly missing child. Faith allister. However, she is not missing. She has run away from her inattentive parents. Shenanigans happen and eventually Harry convinces her to return home. Oh also Harry is a wizard and can do really really cool magic but that's another topic. Finally, when Jim Butcher publishes his final book of the Dresden Files. It will be grown Faith Allastor who gives Harry the case, that will bring the coming apocalypse. This ending the dresden Files, thus rises the Big Apocalypse Trilogy that will tie everything together. And Nicodemus Archleone. Who has taken up one of the Blackened Denarius - one of the 30 pieces of Silver, and is working hand in hand with the fallen angel that resides within that coin, as he also wears the Betrayers Noose around his neck as a tie. It renders him and vulnerable from all harm.... I think you'll like this series a lot. I can spend.....HOURS pouring over this series

Though I believe that Nicodemus was, in the end, a (hidden) follower of Jesus, much like Joseph of Arimathea. He was willing to assist in the burial of Jesus...not a simple or unrisky act. I'm not much for "traditional" teaching though.

[@TheSnipeLife]

Yeah I think when we start adding our speculation we can lose the true meaning of the scriptures.

[@Gracia144JesusSaves]

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. He Nicodemus was with Jesus ...altough his body was dead in that moment but was later resurrected but Our Father in Heaven saw what nicodemus did for Jesus after they took him from the cross Mark 8 :35,36 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.Surly I Believe Nicodemus is Saved ,he risked his life the 2 times after his first conversation he Had With Jesus He stood for what He Believed him to be but expressed it in a different ways ..bring aloe and mirrh him remembering what Jesus told him in John 3:16 Nicodemus was there ....with him ..It is a beautifull story that realy happend about Someone who was raised with Torah and maybe Even De Traditions of man can be touched and transformed trough the Gospel of Jesus Christ and following him whole still respecting the Law of God .Thank you Brother for sharing this video and some of the things you said have made people overthink about this character and responding .God Bless you .🕊️📜

Thank you for your video! You have to read 'The Gospel of Nicodemus', it's also referred to as 'The Harrowing of Hell', it is in my opinion one of the most important books of the Bible that wasn't in, or was removed from the Bible. The Gospel of Nicodemus was about Christ's descent into Hell after his crucifixion and how he stormed the gates of hell to release Adam and Eve, John the Baptist, the Saints, the Prophets, Habbakiuk and KIng David who had all been held in there by Satan and the Prince of Hell since Adam and Eve had eaten of the forbidden fruit in the Garden which created a curse which held them all captive and Jesus dying on the tree released the curse and allowed him to go into the underworld and release all those held captive by Satan, you have to read it!!!!
