(gr. "victorious with the people").
Pharisee, member of the Sanhedrin.
Jesus' miracles convinced him that the "Nazarene" was sent from God. Nicodemus went to meet Jesus at night so as not to be seen, or because the time was favorable for him.
Jesus explained to him what the "new birth" is; He told him that God, in his love, had given his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life (John 3:1-21).
When the members of the Sanhedrin accused Jesus of being an impostor, Nicodemus asked them if the Law authorized them to condemn someone before having heard him (John 7:50-52).
Finally, this doctor of the Law contributed about one hundred Roman pounds of a composition of myrrh and aloes for the embalming of Jesus' corpse (John 19:39).
