And how do you do that?

I'm sure Nic knew his Torah.
Nobody can know for sure but I’m guessing Nic corrupted the words, changed them to fit what he thought was right rather than letting scripture change his beliefs, he twisted it to conform to what he thought was true.

The words of the Bible are just like DNA. A set of words that produce Christ in us.

If that was Nicodemus's unstated question, "When will God's Kingdom come?"

Some Bibles end the quotation at verse 15.

What does "Believe in Him" mean? Does John 7:50 and John 19:39 indicate that Nicodemus "believed in Him"? Was Nicodemus "born from above"? What DID happen to him?
Jesus knew what Nic's thoughts were. Jesus did that to pharisee's all the time when healing on the Sabbath. We can only surmise more took place between Jesus and Nicodemus, and therefore Nicodemus believed in Jesus as the Messiah. Nicodemus became bolder in the Sanhedrin too, and assisted with the burial of Jesus.
