Then the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up in three days?”

After this, Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

After this Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He stayed out of Judea because the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him.

So the Jewish leaders began to say, “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”

Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples

The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”

Now the Jewish religious leaders refused to believe that he had really been blind and had gained his sight until at last they summoned the parents of the man who had become able to see.

The Jewish leaders replied, “We are not going to stone you for a good deed but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are claiming to be God.”

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was intensely moved in spirit and greatly distressed.

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.

So Pilate went back into the governor’s residence, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”

But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”

The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!”

(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”

Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
