And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?

And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

Then the Jews said to him: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rebuild it in three days?

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

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.

You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews.

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

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health.

And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.

And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said, I am like bread that came down from heaven.

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

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

Now the feast of tabernacles, a feast of the Jews, was near.

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

However, no one spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught?

Then the Jews said among themselves: Whither is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to those who are dispersed among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?

Then said the Jews: Will he kill himself, because he says, Whither I go, you can not come?

Then said Jesus to those Jews that believed on him: If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed,

The Jews answered, and said to him: Do we not well say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

Then said the Jews to him: Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

Then the Jews said to him: You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

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

His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Again, therefore, there was a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

Then the Jews came round him, and said to him: How long do you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him.

The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.

His disciples said to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?

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

Then the Jews that were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise and go out quickly, followed her, saying: She is going to the tomb to weep there.

Then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping also, he was greatly moved in spirit, and troubled;

Then said the Jews: See how he loved him!

Then many of the Jews that had come to Mary, and who saw what he had done, believed on him.

Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but withdrew thence to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.

And the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves.

Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and, as I said to the Jews, whither I go, you can not come, so now I say to you.

Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attend ants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,

It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews, that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.

Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;

Then Pilate again entered the governor's palace, and called Jesus, and said to him: Are you 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 might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.

Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he again came out to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.

But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?

and said: Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him with their open hands.

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

After this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Every one that makes himself a king, speaks against Caesar

it was the preparation for the passover, and about the third hour; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!

And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZABENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin.

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pi late: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.

Then the Jews, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath day was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken down.

And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was 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 permission. He then came and took away the body of Jesus.

There, then, on account of the preparation-day of the Jews, they laid Jesus, for the tomb was near.

Then, on that day, the first day of the week, when it was evening, and the doors of the house in which the disciples were assembled had been closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
