Nicodemus
From BibleWiki
Meaning: the people is victor
a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He is first noticed as visiting Jesus by night (Jn 3:1ff) for the purpose of learning more of his doctrines, which Jesus then unfolded to him, giving prominence to the necessity of being "born again." He is next met with in the Sanhedrin (Jn 7:50ff), where he protested against the course they were taking in plotting against Jesus. Once more he is mentioned as taking part in the preparation for the anointing and burial of the body of Jesus (Jn 19:39). We hear nothing more of him. There can be little doubt that he became a true disciple.
