Who is Nicodemus?
NICODE'MUS
(victor of the people), a ruler of the Jews, and a distinguished member of the sect of the Pharisees, whose conversation with the Messiah, as recorded in John 3, reveals one of the grand doctrines of the Christian system - viz., regeneration by the Spirit of God. On this occasion he betrayed himself as a timid disciple, or as one just seeking after the truth, for he came to Christ under the cover of darkness. Later he defends Christ against the bitter injustice of the Pharisees, John 7:50, and finally he appears as a professed follower, helping in the sepulture of the crucified Lord. John 19:89.
