And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? and He answered It is as thou sayst.

But Pilate answered them, saying, Would ye have me release to you the king of the Jews?

And Pilate answered, and said to them again, What then would you have me do with Him, whom ye call king of the Jews?

and saluted Him, saying, Hail king of the Jews;

and the title of his charge was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

and having heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.

And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And He answered him and said, I am as thou sayest.

If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.

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

And behold there was a man of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, named Joseph, a counsellor, a good man and a just:

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

And there were six stone waterpots, placed according to the custom of purifying among the Jews, containing each about two or three firkins.

For the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those that sold oxen,

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him, What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews,

Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:

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

But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.

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

Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.

And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.

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

The Jews then murmured about Him; because He said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.

The Jews therefore cavilled amongst themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;

The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?

No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?

Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed my disciples.

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

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

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

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.

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

Then the Jews came round Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou be the Messiah, tell us plainly.

I and the Father are one. Then the Jews again took up stones to stone Him.

The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not go about to stone thee for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because thou being a man makest thyself God.

The disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?

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

The Jews therefore that were with her in the house to comfort her, seeing Mary that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave to weep there.

Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled.

The Jews therefore said, Behold, how he loved him!

Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed on Him.

Wherefore Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews; but went away from thence into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

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

And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.

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

Little children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. Ye will wish for me, and as I said to the Jews, "Whither I go ye cannot come", so I now tell you.

So the band with the captain, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound Him:

Now Caiaphas was he who had said in council to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews are continually resorting: and in secret have said nothing. Why dost thou ask me?

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

Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

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 have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.

Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,

and saith unto them, I find no fault at all 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 threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.

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 Cesar's friend; for whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.

(And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour.) And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king. But they cried out,

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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

And 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."

The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, because it was now the preparation, (for that sabbath-day was an high-day) desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

So they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

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

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

Now there were at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, Jews and proselytes,

But Saul prevailed more and more, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, fully proving that this same Jesus is the Christ.

And after a considerable time, the Jews conspired to kill him:

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.

Now they that were dispersed by the trouble, which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but the Jews only.

And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in the days of unleavened bread:)

And Peter being come to himself said, Now I know truly, that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

And when they arrived at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John for their assistant.

As they went out of the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles desired that these words might be spoken to them on the following sabbath.

And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who addressing themselves to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, opposing and reviling him.

but the Jews stirred up devout and honorable women, and the heads of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.

And at Iconium they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great number both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

but when there was an effort both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, together with their rulers, to offer violence to them, and to stone them;

But there came thither some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and persuading the multitude, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
