John 3:2

He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

From Background Notes [BN] for Sept 26th & 27th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

But Jesus "knew what was in man". Nicodemus was no exception. He brought his own human condition to Jesus and reveals a bit of it when he says...



..."Can a man be born when he is old?"--a statement leading scholars to think that he was, in fact, old. His life patterns were well formed and his attitudes towards the world around him deeply set. His times were not happy ones. He may have become cynical. Too much water under the bridge, he might have thought. But Jesus "knew what was in man". Cutting to the heart of things, he begins with "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." [BN,2]
