Nicodemus: The people is victor, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He is
first noticed as visiting Jesus by night
(John 3:1-21) for the purpose
of learning more of his doctrines, which our Lord then unfolded to
him, giving prominence to the necessity of being "born again." He is
next met with in the Sanhedrin
(John 7:50-52) where he protested
against the course they were taking in plotting against Christ. Once
more he is mentioned as taking part in the preparation for the
anointing and burial of the body of Christ
(John 19:39) We hear nothing
more of him. There can be little doubt that he became a true
disciple.
