Nicodemus
A Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin who sought Jesus by night and later defended Him before the council.
Nicodemus was a prominent Jewish leader who engaged Jesus in a profound dialogue regarding the necessity of being born again. He later attempted to defend Jesus' legal rights before the Sanhedrin and eventually assisted in preparing Jesus' body for burial. His journey reflects a gradual transition from cautious inquiry to public identification with Christ.
