Demetrius nicodemus biography

As is the case with Lazarus, Nicodemus is not mentioned in the synoptic Gospels, and is mentioned only by John,^[3] who devotes more than half of Chapter 3 of his gospel and a few verses of Chapter 7 to Nicodemus, and lastly mentions him in Chapter 19.

Nicodemus is considered by both Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church traditions to have secretly been a disciple of Jesus on the basis of the narrative in John 19; there is no explicit mention of his discipleship in the Gospel of John.
