A conversation of the world's smartest man with a teacher at the time of Roman Empire is as follows: Nicodemus, a Pharisees and ruler of the Jewish people, said to Jesus you are “a teacher come from God” and Jesus answered, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus did not understand “born again.” Jesus said, “Except a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” * Jesus further said, “Marvel not that I said you must be born again.”

To further help Nicodemus to understand, Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, we speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
