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

And there were six stone water jars there, placed for the purification of the Jews, containing two or three metretes [16.75 or 25.125 gallons] each.

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

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

Then the Jews said to him, Forty-six years was this temple being built, and will you raise it in three days?

And there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

Then the Samaritan woman said to him, How do you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews do no business with the Samaritans.

You worship what you know not; we worship what we know; for salvation is of 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 you to carry the bed.

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

and on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

Then, for this reason, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also said, that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

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

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

Then the Jews contended 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 Judea because the Jews sought to kill him.

AND the feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.

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

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

Then the Jews wondered, saying, How does this man know letters, not having learned?

Then the Jews said one to another, Where is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go you cannot come?

Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed;

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

The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death.

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

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

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for already the Jews had agreed that if any one confessed him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue;

There was a division again among the Jews on account of these words;

Then the Jews came around him and said to him, How long do you hold our minds [in doubt]? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.

The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again?

And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there.

Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected,

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

Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed on him;

Then Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence to a region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he staid with his disciples.

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

A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

because many of the Jews withdrew on his account and believed in Jesus.

My little children, I am with you yet a little while. You shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go you cannot come, I now also say to you.

Then the guard and the chiliarch and the officers of the Jews apprehended Jesus, and bound him,

and Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed for the people.

Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always assemble, and in secret I have said nothing.

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

Then Pilate went into the Praetorium 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 had been of this world my officers would have fought for me, that I should not be given up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not here.

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

But you have a custom that I should release one to you at the passover; are you willing, therefore, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?

and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they struck him with the open hand.

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

From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

And it was the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon]; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!

And Pilate wrote an inscription and put on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZORAEAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

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

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

After these things Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took his body.

Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with bandages, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to prepare for burial.

In that therefore they laid Jesus, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near.

Then when it was evening, on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you.
