This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

now there were six cisterns of stone plac'd there for the use of the Jews in their purifications, containing two or three firkins a-piece.

for the Jews passover being nigh, Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

whereupon the Jews said, what miracle can you show to justify your behaviour?

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

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

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, 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,

Now there happen'd to be a dispute about baptism between a Jews, and some of John's disciples:

but the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

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

Some time after this the feast of the Jews being come, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

the Jews said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath-day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

then the man departed to acquaint the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.

upon which occasion the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he did such things on the sabbath-day.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

for it was just before the passover, which is a feast of the Jews.

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.

The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

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

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

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

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

The Jews therefore 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?"

The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

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

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

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

At this the Jews took up stones to stone Him, but Jesus made His way out of the temple unperceived.

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

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be 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 another schism therefore among the Jews, occasion'd by this discourse.

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."],

the Jews came about him, and said, how long will you keep us in suspense? if you are the Messiah, 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, it is not for any good work that we stone thee; but for blasphemy, inasmuch as you, being a man, pretend to be a God.

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

upon which his disciples said, master, it is not long since the Jews attempted to stone you; and are you for going thither again?

many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to condole with them upon the loss of their brother.

the Jews then who were with Mary in the house to comfort her, when they saw that she rose in such haste, and went out, followed her, saying, she is going to the grave to weep there.

when Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he sighed from his heart, and was troubled,

upon which the Jews said, see how he loved him.

many therefore of the Jews who came to see Mary, and had seen what Jesus had done, believed on him.

For which reason he did not afterwards appear publickly among the Jews; but retir'd into the country near the desart, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

now the passover of the Jews being nigh: the people of that country went in great numbers to Jerusalem before the passover, in order to purify themselves.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

because he was the occasion that many of the Jews left them, 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].”

my dear children, I am with you but for a little while. you shall seek me: but as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, "where I am going you cannot come."

The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on 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).

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to eat the passover.

Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one 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).

Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?'

Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

Pilate saith to him, 'What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, 'I do find no fault in him;

and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, that I shall release to 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! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.

And Pilate went outside again and said to the Jews, "Listen! I am going to bring Him out to you, for you to see that I can find no ground for a charge against Him."

the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, 'Peace to you;'
