EARLY WISDOM GOSPELS 79
But he was speaking about the temple of his body. After he was raised from
the dead, his students remembered what he said and they believed the scrip-
ture and the word that Yeshua said.
When he was in Yerushalayim during the Pesach suppers, many people be-
lieved in his name, seeing the wondrous signs he was doing. But Yeshua would
not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and because he had no
need to have anyone testify about a person and he knew what was in a person.
(Chapter 3)NIKODEMOS QUESTIONS YESHUA
Now, there was a Pharisee named Nikodemos,^30 a leader of the Jews. He came
to Yeshua at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you came as a teacher from
god since no one can perform these wondrous signs if god were not with him.
Yeshua answered,
"Truly, truly I say to you,
unless you are born from above
you cannot see the kingdom of god."
"How can one be born when one is old?" he asked. "One cannot enter a
mother's womb a second time and be born."
Yeshua answered,
"Truly, truly I say to you,
unless you are born from water and the wind of god^31
you cannot enter the kingdom of god.
What is born from the flesh is flesh,
what is born from the wind is wind.
Do not wonder that I told you
you must be born again from above.
The wind blows where it wants to and you hear its sound,
but you cannot know where it comes from and where it goes.
So it is for everyone born from the wind of god."
- Nicodemus.
- Or "the spirit of god."
