And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?

Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

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

The Jews then addressed him, and said to him, What miracle shewest thou, seeing thou actest thus?

Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days?

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification.

The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.

Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.

AFTER these things there was a 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 thee to carry thy bed.

The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

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

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

Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

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

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

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

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man the scriptures, not being a scholar?

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Grecians, and teach the Greeks?

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

Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;

Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?

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

So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.

There was therefore a division again among the Jews, on account of these sayings.

Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.

Then the Jews again brought stones, in order to stone him.

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

The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again?

and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there.

When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him!

Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples.

Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves.

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

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

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

The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him,

Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

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

Pilate then said to them, Take him yourselves, and according to your own law judge him. The Jews then said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

Jesus replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in him.

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

and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him slaps on the face with their hands.

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

Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar's: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.

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

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

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

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

The Jews therefore, 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 away.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (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 permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.

Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury.

Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.

When the evening therefore was come, on the same first day of the week, and the doors being fastened where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be to you.
