Father Dan Donovan
The evangelist emphasizes that Nicodemus has come to Jesus by night. In doing so, he reveals his interest in Jesus and in his teaching, as well as his hesitation to be too open about it. He shows his respect for Jesus by calling him "rabbi" and "teacher," and describing him as someone who has come from God.
The attitude Nicodemus reveals in regard to Jesus is not unlike that of many people today. They're attracted by the moral teaching of the Gospels, perhaps even more by the mercy and compassion with which Jesus approaches the poor and the sick, the vulnerable and those pushed to the margins of society.
