John 3:2
The same came to Jesus by night. He probably chose the night in
order to escape observation. He did not dare encounter the hostility of
the priests, filled with rage over the cleansing of the temple, and yet
he wished to know more of one whom he believed to be sent from God.
Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God. Nicodemus
confesses, not only his belief, but that of his fellow Pharisees and
rulers. The miracles of Jesus convinced them, even if they would not
admit it, that he was a teacher sent from God. He came for
information, and Jesus recognized it in what follows.
