And Pilate asked him, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayst it.

And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release to you the king of the Jews?

And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do to him whom ye call the king of the Jews?

And they saluted him, Hail, king of the Jews.

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And hearing of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, beseeching him to come and heal his servant.

And Pilate asked him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews?

And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

And a superscription also was written over him in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(He had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself waited for the kingdom of God:

And there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.

For the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple them that fold oxen,

Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign shewest thou us, seeing thou dost these things?

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

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

Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying.

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Then said the Jews to him that was healed, It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

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

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

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

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

The Jews then murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

The Jews then debated among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

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

Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was nigh.

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

However, no man spake openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

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

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

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

Then answered the Jews and said to him, Say we not well, 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; yet thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

He said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, till they had called the parents of him who had received his sight.

He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself. His parents said this, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, That if any man should own him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

This commission have I received of my Father. There was again a division among the Jews, because of these sayings.

Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep us in suspense?

Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father;

The Jews answered him, We stone thee not for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

The disciples say to him, Master, the Jews but now sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?

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

The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforted her, seeing Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned deeply,

Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him! And some of them said,

Many therefore of the Jews who were come to Mary, and had seen the things, which Jesus had done, believed on him.

Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country, near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

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

Little children, yet a little while I am with you: ye shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Whither I go ye cannot come, so now I say to you.

Then the soldiers, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him;

Caiaphas was he who had counselled the Jews, that it was expedient one man should die for the people.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

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

Then Pilate returned into the palace, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

What hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not be delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.

Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice. Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find no fault in him.

But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I 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.

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

Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend to Cesar. Whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.

(It was then the preparation of the passover, and about the third hour:) And saith to the Jews, Behold your king.

And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross: and the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

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

Now because it was the preparation, lest the bodies should remain upon the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a great day) the Jews besought Pilate, that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.

And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews) asked Pilate leave, to take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the preparation -day of the Jews; for the sepulchre was nigh.

The same day, the first day of the week, at evening, the doors being shut, where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace be unto you.

Now they who had been scattered abroad by the distress which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching to none but Jews only.

And being at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John for their attendant.
