NARRATOR: Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, the Pharisee who had sneaked to see him under cover of darkness.
JESUS 1: Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whoever believes may have eternal life.
JESUS 2: For God so loved the world that God gave God’s only begotten Son, that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have life forever.
JESUS 1: God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but so the world might be saved through him.
JESUS 2: Those who believe in him are not condemned.
JESUS 1: Those who don’t believe in him are condemned already because they have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
JESUS 2: This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, but people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.
JESUS 1: People who do evil deeds hate the light and do not come to the light, so their deeds may not be exposed.
JESUS 2: People who do the truth come to the light, so that the light makes clear that their deeds have been done in God.
John 3.14-21
