Jesus would not have been foolish enough to discuss the concept of being born again within a single lifetime with another being or group of disciples by first stating "after death and dissolution of the body, they are born again (well, unless he was predicting his own future I guess). That would convey precisely what the Buddha conveyed....subsequent rebirth as commonly understood. In other words, your use of this particular scripture illustrates precisely why I firmly believe that the Buddha's discourses asserted rebirth as commonly known and not some special type of rebirth prior to death and dissolution of the body.
Buddha simply taught the principles of Dependent Origination

again, your interpretation belongs to you
