Who is…
Nicodemus

Meaning: the people is victor

This is the name of a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin with whom Jesus Christ spoke at length.

He is first noted as visiting Jesus by night (John 3:1-21) for the purpose of learning more of his doctrines, which our Lord then unfolded to him, giving prominence to the necessity of being “born again.”

He is next met with in the Sanhedrin (7:50-52), where he protested against the course they were taking in plotting against Christ.

Once more he is mentioned as taking part in the preparation for the anointing and burial of the body of Christ (John 19:39).

And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about one hundred litras. —John 19:39 LSB

Note: 100 litras (aka Roman pounds) = approximately 75 modern pounds or 34 kilograms

We hear nothing more of him.

There can be little doubt that he became a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
