NICODEMUS

Detail from The Deposition by Michelangelo, c. 1547–1555

Nicodemus (/nɪkəˈdiːməs/; Ancient Greek: Νικόδημος, romanized: Nikódēmos; Imperial Aramaic: 𐡍𐡒𐡃𐡉𐡌𐡅𐡍, romanized: Naqdīmūn; Hebrew: נַקְדִּימוֹן, romanized: Naqdīmōn) is a New Testament figure venerated as a saint in a number of Christian traditions.

He is depicted as a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who is drawn to hear Jesus’s teachings.

Like Lazarus, Nicodemus is not mentioned in the synoptic Gospels, but only by John, who devotes more than half of Chapter 3 of his gospel and a few verses of Chapter 7 to Nicodemus and last mentions him in Chapter 19.
