John 3:16 is the sixteenth verse in the third chapter of the Gospel of John, one of the four gospels in the New Testament.

Nicodemus Visiting Christ is a painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner, made in Jerusalem in 1899 during the artist's second visit to what was then Palestine. [1] The painting is biblical, featuring Nicodemus talking privately to Christ in the evening, and is an example of Tanner's nocturnal light paintings, in which the world is shown in night light.
Jesus talking to Nicodemus, depicted by William Hole. The first part of the chapter begins with Nicodemus, said to be a member of the ruling council, coming at night to talk with Jesus, whom he calls Rabbi. On account of Jesus' "miraculous signs", [3] Nicodemus and others ("we" in John 3:2) have recognized that Jesus is " a teacher come from God".
The wind is compared to the Holy Spirit in verse 8 of the discourse. This may be compared to Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit came down upon the Apostles as "a rushing mighty wind". Nicodemus is mentioned again in John 7:50 and 19:39. [4] The latter reference mentions the occasion in John 3 when Nicodemus met with Jesus.

Illustration from the Bamberg Apocalypse of the Son of Man among the seven lampstands The Vision of John on Patmos by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1860).

The seven signs are: [2] [3] Changing water into wine at Cana in John 2:1–11 – "the first of the signs" Healing the royal official's son in Capernaum in John 4:46–54; Healing the paralytic at Bethesda in John 5:1–15; Feeding the 5000 in John 6:5–14; Jesus walking on water in John 6:16–24; Healing the man blind from birth in John 9:1–7
In Acts 3:1–10 a similar healing event is recorded, in which the Apostles Peter and John visit the Temple and heal a disabled person in Jesus's name. The setting is comparable, in each case a specific location in Jerusalem is named, and in each case the fact that the healed person walked away is highlighted.
