Question about Nicodemis

[Michelle420]

Recently I heard in a bible discussion that Nicodemus (a rich guy) paid for Jesus' burial, but then I also know as the story goes Jesus was raised from the dead and when the guards moved the stone he was not there. So do we know where Nicodemus buried Jesus? And did Jesus visit Nicodemis after raising from the dead?

I don't know if he was actually a follower of Jesus, just a sympathizer. Jesus probably thought kindly of him. But can you imagine how the other priests would have reacted if Nicodemus had exclaimed that he saw Jesus alive again? They probably would have stoned him to death.

Yes we do. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher sits on the site of where Jesus Christ was buried.

There is no record of Jesus meeting with Nick after His resurrection, but I'm sure He let Nick know that He was no longer in need of the tomb.

Recently I heard in a bible discussion that Nicodemus

It's an obviously Greek name.

Why would their be rich Greeks in Jerusalem, a Jewish nation under Roman Occupation, during the 1st Century CE?

The gaurds did not move the stone from the tomb's door - it was opened by angels.

One legend had it that Nick and Lazarus of Bethany - whom Jesus had raised from the dead - went to England to spread the gospel there - but that is unconfirmed.

Nicodemus? Isn't that Nastrodomus' cousin who predicted none of this is really happening?

fncceo I don't know much about the culture, history of that era. But I would believe you if you say so because it sounds like you have more knowledge about it.

Not true, nicotine is a natural chemical which is part of the tobacco plant and wasn't invented at all- it was discovered. And it was discovered by American Indians, not the Jews of antiquity.

I always liked Nicodemus. Jesus showed him respect by referring to him as a Master in Israel. He asked thought provoking questions that I am sure many wondered about.

Nick was the first person every hear John 3:16.

Jesus quoted this to him " John 3:16 means For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

The guards watched them while they wrapped and buried Jesus. And the guards stood at the entrance of the tomb. The tomb that Jesus was buried in was a tomb that you have to step down into. But a flat carved stone was placed on top of the entrance.
Everyone thinks that it was a cave that they placed a huge boulder in front of the entrance. But women who were going to visit the body will be having to break their back to push the huge boulder from the entrance. and the angel that rested upon the rock would have to be very tall.

But as for Nicodemus. In order to be accepted. You have to be willing to suffer at the point of death.

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.


John 3
Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” ...

Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

John 15:18
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
