And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, - that they might question him - Who art, thou?

Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.

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

The Jews therefore answered, and said unto him, What sign, dost thou point out to us, in that, these things, thou doest?

The Jews, therefore, said - In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!

There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, - ruler of the Jews.

The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him - How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? for, Jews, have no dealings with Samaritans.

Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.

After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.

The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured - It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: -

The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well.

And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.

On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, - because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, with, God.

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

The Jews, therefore, began to murmur concerning him, because he said - I, am the bread that came down out of heaven;

The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying - How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?

And, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee; for he was not wishing, in Judaea, to be walking, because the Jews were seeking to slay him.

But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.

The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying - Where is that one?

No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.

The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying - How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?

The Jews, therefore, said unto themselves - Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks?

The Jews, therefore, were saying - Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?

Jesus was saying, therefore, unto the Jews who had believed on him - If, ye, abide in my word, of a truth, my disciples, ye are;

The Jews answered, and said unto him - Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

The Jews said unto him - Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: - Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding.

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

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

These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, - for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.

A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.

The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him - How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly.

The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him.

The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God.

The disciples say unto him - Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee - and, again, goest thou thither?

and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there.

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself,

The Jews, therefore, were saying - See! how tenderly he loved him!

Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him

Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples.

Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.

The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.

because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.

Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now.

The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, apprehended Jesus, and bound him,

Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel unto the Jews, that it was profitable for, one man, to die in behalf of the people.

Jesus answered him - I, openly, have spoken, unto the world, - I, ever, taught, in synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather together; and, in secret, spake nothing:

Pilate, therefore, said unto them - Ye, take him, and, according to your law, judge ye him. The Jews said unto him - Unto us, it is not allowed, to kill anyone! -

Pilate, therefore, entered again into the judgment-hall; and addressed Jesus, and said unto him - Art, thou, the king of the Jews?

Jesus answered - My kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence.

Pilate saith unto him - What, is truth? And, this saying, again, went he out to the Jews, and saith unto them, - I, find in him, not a single fault.

Howbeit ye have, a custom, that, some one, I should release unto you, during the passover: - Are ye minded, then, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

and kept coming unto him, and saying - Joy to thee! O King of the Jews! - and were giving unto him smart blows.

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

For this cause, Pilate, began seeking to release him; but, the Jews, cried aloud saying - If this man thou release, thou art not a friend of Caesar, for, every one who maketh himself king, speaketh against Caesar.

Now it was the preparation of the passover, - it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews - See! your King!

And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written - JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because, near, was the place to the city where Jesus was crucified; ad it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

The High-priests of the Jews, therefore, were saying unto Pilate - Do not be writing, The King of the Jews; but that, he, said: King of the Jews, I am.

The Jews, therefore, since it was, a preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross during the Sabbath, - for that Sabbath day was, great, requested Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.

But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body.

So they received the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen-bandages with the spices, - just as it is, a custom, with the Jews to prepare for burial.

So, there, by reason of the preparation of the Jews, because, near, was the tomb, laid they Jesus.

It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week, - and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto them - Peace be unto you!
