Who was Nicodemus in the Bible?
Nicodemo era un fariseo y miembro del consejo judío que fue a ver a Jesús de noche con preguntas. Aparece tres veces en el Evangelio de Juan y pasa de una curiosidad cautelosa a honrar abiertamente a Jesús en su sepultura.

John introduces Nicodemus as “a man of the Pharisees … a ruler of the Jews” (John 3:1). He came to Jesus by night — perhaps from caution, perhaps because he wanted an unhurried conversation. He acknowledged Jesus as a teacher “come from God,” and Jesus answered with the call to be born again.
Nicodemus appears twice more. In John 7 he urges the council to give Jesus a fair hearing rather than condemn him unheard. Then in John 19, after the crucifixion, he helps Joseph of Arimathea bury Jesus, bringing a large, costly amount of spices — a public act of devotion.
His story is often read as a quiet journey from secret inquiry toward open faith, showing that even a learned religious leader needed the new birth Jesus described.
