Why did Nicodemus come to Jesus by night?

Answered in 1 source

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night due to fear of societal repercussions, showing his initial hesitance to identify publicly as a follower.

Initially, Nicodemus approached Jesus under the cover of night to avoid the stigma associated with openly seeking the Messiah, as he was a member of the Sanhedrin. His nocturnal visit illustrated his fear of the Jewish leaders and potential backlash. However, this early timidity evolved as Nicodemus later boldly defended Jesus before his peers, demonstrating a growing courage in expressing his faith. His journey from a midnight conversation to a public display of support in burying Jesus highlights the transformative power of understanding Christ's work and the resulting boldness that comes with true faith.
