We are Jews by birth ¹  and not Gentile sinners, ² 

Now because Jesus was doing these things ¹  on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders ²  began persecuting ³  him.

Then the Jewish leaders ¹  were astonished ²  and said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?” ³ 

The Jewish leaders ¹  picked up rocks again to stone him to death.

Thus the people who had come to mourn ¹  said, “Look how much he loved him!”

Now after some days had passed, the Jews plotted ¹  together to kill him,

The Jews also joined in the verbal attack, ¹  claiming ²  that these things were true.

For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts ¹  and were trying to kill me.

For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,

So then the Jewish leaders ¹  responded, ²  “What sign can you show us, since you are doing these things?” ³ 

So the Jewish leaders ¹  said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat.” ² 

So the Jewish leaders ¹  were looking for him at the feast, asking, “Where is he?” ² 

Then the Judeans ¹  replied, ²  “You are not yet fifty years old! ³  Have ⁴  you seen Abraham?”

The disciples replied, ¹  “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders ²  were just now trying ³  to stone you to death! Are ⁴  you going there again?”

Now there were devout Jews ¹  from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem. ² 

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

But the Jews who refused to believe ¹  stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds ²  against the brothers.

And the rest of the Jews also joined with him in this hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray with them ¹  by their hypocrisy.

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing, ¹  holding fast to the tradition of the elders.

Then the Jewish leaders ¹  said to him, “This temple has been under construction ²  for forty-six years, ³  and are you going to raise it up in three days?”
