And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the Jews' land, and there he haunted with them and baptised,

Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one ought to worship is in Jerusalem [at the temple].”

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

placed after 5:47] The Jews were amazed, saying, "How can this uneducated fellow manage to read?"

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

When he spoke in this way, many of the Jews believed in him.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

At that, the Jews picked up stones to throw at him, but he disappeared and made his way out of the Temple.

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

So the Jews again called the man who had been blind, and said to him: "Give God the praise; we know that this is a bad man."

I have other sheep [also] which are not [presently] in this corral; I must lead them, too. They will hear my voice and become one flock [i.e., with the others], having one shepherd. [Note: This probably refers to believing Gentiles becoming God's people, along with the Jews].

There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

During the winter, when the Festival of Dedication was being held in Jerusalem [Note: This was the Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Temple in BC after its pagan desecration by Greeks. It is still observed today by Jews as "Hanukkah."],

Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

[Then] the Jews again tried to arrest Him, but He escaped from their hands.

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw all people to Myself [Gentiles, as well as Jews].”

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

and brought him first of all to Annas (for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year ??14 the Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their interests that one man should die for the people).

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

Then Jesus was led from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters early in the morning. The Jews did not go into the headquarters, to avoid becoming unclean and unable to eat the Passover meal.

Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

The Jews answered him, "We are not allowed to put anyone to death" (that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled in which he predicted the kind of death he was to die).

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

And the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, king of the Jews.

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "See, I am bringing him out to you to let you clearly understand that I find no crime in him."

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
