When Yeshua (Jesus) told Nicodemus he needed to be born again, in Nick's mind, he was questioning why would he, a Pharisee and ruler need another rebirth since he had already been born again four times. Exactly what Messiah is doing here is using a Jewish form of communication when a speaker begins by speaking of what is "known" and then moves into what is "unknown" thereby ending with a revelation of what was not known and explaining it. The fact of this is evident in the response made by Nick, he asks the question "how is it possible? Must I enter into my mothers womb when I am old? The key is the mention of age by Nick, it wouldn't matter if you were young or old, you can't renter the womb so why the reference to "old"?
