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!

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.
Couldn't have said it better. I personally think Nicodemus was searching and saw the fulfillment of scripture. I hope he believed and saved
It took him a few times to get it but he did..
@@sxootysott7570 I know it’s not the most common topic(even within the church), but while most of the Pharisees weren’t saved, there was a few that were saved.
@@bighand1530 the conversation was strange but yeah. I think he made it but I’ve heard different variations.
thats one thing on my bucket list to meet him in heaven :)
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?"
I think Nicodemus serves as a metaphor for good people who are unsure, but want to believe, and do eventually come around, because they accept Jesus Christ as The Messiah
I think we have more people like Nicodemus than we realize.
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.
Awesome!
Nicodemus is the representation of the human. The wise intelligent being that inhabits earth. That can witness and choose their own path. The hope is within the nicodemus
Ahhh that’s probably what this story is symbolizing after all. So I shouldn’t take it so personal because everyone finds their own nicodemus correct?
@@sxootysott7570 yeah, as in The Nicodemus is truly GODS People. . the are always coming to balance . creations equilibrium of human potential. Through experience one becomes the skin of god
@@sean-or1nc that’s a very well put explanation.
What trips me out is the night story and it’s way too eerily similar to what happened to me is why I’m asking. And I’m just gonna go with your explanation because that sounds better than any other explanation I could come up with in the past 3 years for it.
When I saw the scene with Jesus and Nicodemus on the Chosen I got got overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit and just started crying. That powerful encounter helped me to start my faith Journey, again.. I had strayed.
I too cried so much when I watched the chosen 😭 ❤, glad to know I'm not alone
the exact same thing happened to me!
Where
Me too! God Bless you my Brother
@psak5226 Praise be!
Would be so cool to know what happened to him🤔
Yeah agreed!
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.
The Nick @ Nite comment was way too underrated my guy great work 😂😂
Thank you for providing the information. It is helping with our Bible Study.
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.
It was an interesting talk for sure.. I look forward to taking to him again..
Love this. I'm showing this to my junior high group on Sunday.
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.
A straight up and simple breakdown on Nicodemus
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!
Thanks for checking this one out!
Im new to all this i never did read the bible i dont own a bible. But i love watching the movies the chosen being the at the top. But Nicodemus became my favorite for his late night talk with jesus. Love it
This was very informative, thank you, God bless you brother!
Brandon great timing and message praise the lord Jesus ❤ 🙏 🙌 blessed
First time here. Great commentary!
Hey, thanks!
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!
Love ❤ your series
Interesting!
God bless 🙏 you brother in name of Jesus Christ whohas given you wisdom to share his word.i request you pray for me when i share this scripture for whom god has given me this this powerful message though you.and it is going to be fruitful in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
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?
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.
Straight Facts ❤❤❤ just found ur channel!
Very good!
good research bro! nicely done
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.
I see your wisdom. God Speed
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
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.
I hope he was saved.
He got it
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.
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.
Yeah I think when we start adding our speculation we can lose the true meaning of the scriptures.
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
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 .🕊️📜
To me your reply is spot on. Jesus knew the heart of Nicodemus. No one but Jesus.
Nic at Nite lol😂 love it! I remember Nic at Nite
Nick, nyx, nox, nocht means night too which is ironic considering the night visit.
Just tuned in. Love Nicodemus of course! Like this idea for explanation. Good work as usual Brandon! Thank you. 👍😊
Thanks Joolz!
Brilliant, v helpful, thanks
Hey Snipe family!!🥰
Nora’s on it! 😂 good to see you as always!
Shucks. I am just now seeing this after 5 days. I wonder if I'm set up wrong. There was no notice.
Well anyway, this is in depth just like the work you do when presenting. I'm liking Nic more and more. Thanks again. And now I'll go check and see if I'm subscribed correctly.
Hmm, yeah sometimes things get messed up with CZcams. Make sure you have the bell pressed after you’ve subscribed so it notifies you.
Jesus Christ is an allegory of the sun, you're welcome.
It's possible, as the sun reacts with water n created carbon dioxide the building blocks of matter
75 pounds of mur is enough to bury a King he believed Jesus was the King of Kings.
There were a lot of Books taken from the Bible so your thoughtful questions Brandon may have been answered in those. The main source though is God, let's ask Him for these answers 😊
Can you do the surmen on the mount please ?
Jesus was trying to explain the difference between the birth of the physical body and the birth of spirit explaining that it was possible for spirit to be reborn.
here
Nicodemus is very wise -I subscribe to Nicodemus-
What trips me out is this is the night story is involving him and I… idk what’s real but I do know I am beyond tripped out..
Nic at Nite, hehe
Here's a topic to do the Euphrates river is running dry what happens next it's in the book of revelations 16 12
Can you speak about Joseph of Arimathea
Yeah for sure we’ll make a video at some point 😁
Nicodemus purpose was to stand up for Jesus for a trial and give him a proper Homecoming God uses vessels that believe in him doesn't matter who
One interesting thing to know is that NT scripture is unique in "naming" those that were both known and had effects for the early church. For example, see Simon of Cyrene, and the naming of his sons.
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!!!!
I see why it was left out😂
@@DesmondJohnson-og4oy Explain please.
Nick brought 100 pounds, not 70 pounds. My bible says 100 pounds.
So did Nicodemus go to heaven?
Definitely seems like he was a believer and follower of Christ for sure.
Pharisee--sees the truth -
Even within the Church, I feel like that a few Pharisees got saved isn’t as common as other topics. Especially given how much people throw “Pharisee” around as an insult.
I think you can be a believer in Jesus without being a dicipal or apostle of Jesus. I think Nicodemus was a believer in Jesus...thus meeting the requirement for salvation.

I don't understand this you said Jesus is Jewish but yet spawned Christianity those two religions couldn't be farther apart than they are, Jewish believe God is God and Jesus was a prophet at least that's the way I understood it and Christians believe Jesus is the Father and Savior God is still God , I'm so confused, I feel like I can't get a solid answer from anybody on this this is very frustrating. I believe in my heart of hearts did my Lord and Savior is God I remember him everyday and I also believe that Jesus is the teacher and teaching me the ways of God but I'm still confused although I'm not confused on path, I'm just wondering why some religions don't recognize Jesus as the Lord and Savior in some do
Judaism and Christianity are eternally linked. They are very closely related and Christianity started as an offshoot of Judaism…. So I’m confused by what you mean
@@TheSnipeLife well I'm not sure how you can be confused when I'm confused cuz obviously I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm just learning and I guess it's never too late to learn something,
nic at night :)
Was Nicodemis of the tribe of Benjamin?
I Don't believe we know what tribe he was from.
@@TheSnipeLife Thank you for your speedy reply. I believe that he was. And Paul upsurpt his position in the prophecy for the tribe of Benjamin being restored into Yahuah kingdom. I will keep digging though.
Teach us everything we need to know about Nicodemus? Your not that old bro, I mean how can you tell us his favorite food, or favorite underwear or something like that. LMAOOOO. Just joking my dude. Lol.
? p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷
Revelations 2:6 refers to Nicolanites. That Jesus hates.
Jesus doesn’t hate people. Jesus however does hate sin.
Nicodemus was a black man
Lol
What’s so funny?
