Which ruler of the Jews came to Jesus by night seeking the way to eternal life?

• A. Caiaphas
• B. Herod
• C. Pilate
• D. Nicodemus

Answer: (D)

This question centers on the nighttime visit in the Gospel of John when a Jewish ruler named Nicodemus comes to Jesus seeking the way to eternal life. Nicodemus is described as a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council, and he comes to Jesus at night to ask how a person can be saved. Jesus responds with the need to be “born again” by the Spirit, teaching that eternal life comes through spiritual transformation and belief in Him, not just through status or rituals. The other figures mentioned—Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate—play different roles in the story and are not the one who visits Jesus by night seeking eternal life. So the correct figure is Nicodemus.
