Latin for Hebrew Nakdimon (Aramaic Niqodemus; Greek Nikodemos), meaning “victorious”. A Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin who talked with Messiah privately at night.

Nicodemus (Greek: Νικόδημος) was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, who, according to the Gospel of John, showed favour to Jesus. He appears three times in the Gospel: the first is when he visits Jesus one night to listen to his teachings (3:1-21); the second is when he states the law concerning the arrest of Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles (7:45-51); and the last follows the Crucifixion, when he assists Joseph of Arimathea in preparing the corpse of Jesus for burial (19:39-42).

"Nicodemus" is the 15th episode of the first season of the WB original series, Smallville. The episode was written by Greg Walker and Michael Green and directed by Terrence O'Hara. It originally aired on March 19, 2002.
