“each” may refer to those gathered at the Sanhedrin or to all of those who were in Jerusalem for the feast. If it were the former, then we see how effective the words of Nicodemus were.

Are you relying upon your knowledge of Him or upon your good deeds, or are you denying yourself and trusting completely in His impartation of righteousness on your behalf? Jesus isn’t just a way to God, He is the ONLY way!
