John Gill
There was a man of the Pharisees,.... The Syriac version adds, "there"; that is, at Jerusalem; and who was among those that believed in the name of Christ, upon seeing the miracles he did at the feast of the passover, in that place. This man was not a common and ordinary man, but a man of note and eminence, of dignity and figure; and who was of the sect of the Pharisees, which was the strictest...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter we have, I. Christ's discourse with Nicodemus, a Pharisee, concerning the great mysteries of the gospel, in which he here privately instructs him, ver. 1-21. II. John Baptist's discourse with his disciples concerning Christ, upon occasion of his coming into the neighbourhood where John was (ver. 22-36), in which he fairly and faithfully resigns all his honour and interest to him....

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. There must be a new...

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night,— That was better than not coming at all. “Better late than never.” Better come to Christ in the dark than not come to him at all.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, We do not know the names of many other Pharisees, but we do know the name of this one because God had loved him with an everlasting love, and therefore with lovingkindness did he draw him to the Saviour’s feet. “The same came to Jesus by night.” Possibly, he was too busy to come during the...

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, Perhaps he was very busy during the day. It is better to come to Jesus at night than not to come to him at all. All hours are convenient to Christ; you may come to him when you are at home tonight. When everybody else is asleep, Jesus is still awake. In all probability, however, Nicodemus did...

When enquirers come to see any of you who are Christians, do not begin talking to them, but let them begin by telling you what they have to say,...
Charles H. Spurgeon
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: Christ’s door is open at all hours. You may come to Christ by day. You may come to Christ by night. There is never a time when Christ is from home. He that seeketh findeth, and, to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. “The same came to Jesus by night.” Perhaps he was timid. It is just as likely that he was prudent, and did...

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, He could not have come at a better time; the business of the day was over, and all was quiet.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
