This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
came to Jesus by night - One of those superficial “believers” mentioned in Joh 2:23, Joh 2:24, yet inwardly craving further satisfaction, Nicodemus comes to Jesus in quest of it, but comes “by night” (see Joh 19:38, Joh 19:39; Joh 12:42); he avows his conviction that He was
come from God - an expression never applied to a merely human messenger, and probably meaning more here - but only as “a teacher,” and in His miracles he sees a proof merely that “God is with Him.” Thus, while unable to repress his convictions, he is afraid of committing himself too far.
