What did “born again” mean to Nicodemus, a teacher of Israel?

Sergio DeSoto · claim

Part of a series: questions that make more sense when the Tanakh and the New Testament are read together.

Nicodemus is introduced as “a teacher of Israel” — someone who should have recognized the language. Ezekiel had already promised a new heart, a new spirit, cleansing water (Ezekiel 36:25–27) before Yeshua ever used the phrase “born again” with him (John 3:1–10).

What was Nicodemus supposed to already know?

  • Ezekiel 36:25–27
  • John 3:1–10
