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

So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

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

For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"

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

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw 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 in the spirit, and was troubled,

The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"

Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you.

So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, 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 were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.

But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

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

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"

Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

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

Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

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

So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
