<p class="bodytext">So then the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> responded,<n id="2" /> &#8220;What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?&#8221;<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">So the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> said to the man who had been healed, &#8220;It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat.&#8221;<n id="2" />

The man went away and informed the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> that Jesus was the one who had made him well.p>

So the Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> were looking for him at the feast, asking, &#8220;Where is he?&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then the Judeans<n id="1" /> replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;You are not yet fifty years old!<n id="3" /> Have<n id="4" /> you seen Abraham?&#8221;

The disciples replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Rabbi, the Jewish leaders<n id="2" /> were just now trying<n id="3" /> to stone you to death! Are<n id="4" /> you going there again?&#8221;

so many of the Jewish people of the region<n id="1" /> had come to Martha and Mary to console them<n id="2" /> over the loss of their brother.)<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then the squad of soldiers<n id="1" /> with their commanding officer<n id="2" /> and the officers of the Jewish leaders<n id="3" /> arrested<n id="4" /> Jesus and tied him up.<n id="5" />

(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised<n id="1" /> the Jewish leaders<n id="2" /> that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)<n id="3" />p>

They<n id="1" /> came up to him again and again<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Hail, king of the Jews!&#8221;<n id="3" /> And they struck him repeatedly<n id="4" /> in the face.p>

And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation<n id="1" /> and the tomb was nearby,<n id="2" /> they placed Jesus&#8217; body there.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now there were devout Jews<n id="1" /> from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.<n id="2" />

When they had crossed over<n id="1" /> the whole island as far as Paphos,<n id="2" /> they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus,<n id="3" />

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy,<n id="1" /> and they began to contradict<n id="2" /> what Paul was saying<n id="3" /> by reviling him.<n id="4" />

But the Jews who refused to believe<n id="1" /> stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds<n id="2" /> against the brothers.

When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers) made<n id="1" /> an attempt to mistreat<n id="2" /> them and stone them,<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">After they traveled through<n id="1" /> Amphipolis<n id="2" /> and Apollonia,<n id="3" /> they came to Thessalonica,<n id="4" /> where there was a Jewish synagogue.<n id="5" />

When they reached Ephesus,<n id="1" /> Paul<n id="2" /> left Priscilla and Aquila<n id="3" /> behind there, but he himself went<n id="4" /> into the synagogue<n id="5" /> and addressed<n id="6" /> the Jews.

for he refuted the Jews vigorously<n id="1" /> in public debate,<n id="2" /> demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christ<n id="3" /> was Jesus.<n id="4" />p>

testifying<n id="1" /> to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.<n id="2" />
