John 3:16 appears during Jesusā nighttime conversation with the Pharisee Nicodemus in the Gospel According to John. Many Bible editions print the verse as part of Jesusā speech, but because the earliest Greek manuscripts contain no quotation marks, some biblical scholars believe verses 16ā21 are instead the Gospel writerās theological commentary.
