The painting shows us the visit Nicodemus makes to visit Jesus and to learn more about his teaching. This is one of only three times Nicodemus is mentioned in John's gospel, as we listen to the passion we will hear how Nicodemus came to help bury Jesus after he had been crucified. The video reflection suggests that painting inspired by the meeting in today's gospel is like the conversation between priest and someone coming to confess their sins in the sacrament of reconciliation.
