and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said,
"This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and
what you are to tell the people of Israel: `You yourselves
have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I
carried you on eagles' wings and brought you
to MYSELF. Now if you
obey ME fully and keep MY
covenant, then out of all nations you will be MY
treasured possession. Although the whole earth is MINE,

kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak

24:4,5

Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial

presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the
means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart
before the LORD."

one for each of the tribes of Israel, each the
head of a family division among the Israelite clans."

the LORD! The MIGHTY ONE, GOD,
the LORD! HE knows!
And let Israel know! If this has been in
rebellion or disobedience to the LORD, do not spare us this
day."

priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD
is with us, because you have not acted unfaithfully towards the LORD
in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites
from the LORD'S hand." Then Phinehas son of
Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders returned to Canaan from their meeting with the
Reubenites and Gadites in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.
They were glad to hear the report and praised GOD. And
they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the
Reubenites and the Gadites lived."

in years."
Joshua 23:1,2

the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the
elders, leaders, judges and officials of Israel, and they

to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your
mat."

went away and told the Jews that
it was JESUS who had made him well." So, because JESUS
was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted HIM."

tried all the harder to kill HIM; not only was HE
breaking the Sabbath, but HE was even calling GOD
HIS own FATHER, making HIMSELF
equal with GOD."

does this man intend to go that we cannot find HIM?
Will HE go where our people
live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?"

"If you hold to MY
teaching, you are really MY
disciples."

"The Jews answered HIM,
"Aren't we right in saying that YOU
are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"
John 8:48

Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that YOU
are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet YOU
say that if anyone keeps YOUR Word,
he will never taste death."
John 8:52
"YOU
are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to HIM,
"and YOU have seen Abraham!"

Jews picked up stones to stone HIM."
John
10:31
"We are not stoning YOU
for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for
blasphemy, because YOU, a mere man, claim to be GOD."

10:33
"But Rabbi," they said, "a short
while ago the Jews tried to stone YOU,
and yet YOU are going back there?"

"Many
Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their
brother."
John 11:19

had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went
out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb
to mourn there."
John 11:31
"When JESUS
saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her
also weeping, HE was deeply moved in SPIRIT
and troubled."
John 11:33
"Then the Jews
said, "See how HE loved him!"
John 11:36
"Therefore
many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen
what JESUS did, put their faith
in HIM."

"Therefore JESUS
no longer moved about publicly among the Jews. Instead HE
withdrew to a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim, where HE
stayed with HIS disciples."

"When
it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many
went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover."

who comes in the Name of the LORD!" "Blessed
is the King of Israel!"

that JESUS was there and came, not only because of HIM
but also to see Lazarus, whom HE had raised from the
dead."
John 12:9
"On account of him many of the
Jews were going over to JESUS and
putting their faith in HIM."
John 12:11
"MY
children, I will be with you only a little longer. You
will look for ME, and just as I
told the Jews, so I tell you
now: Where I am going, you cannot come."
John 13:33
"Then
the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish
officials arrested JESUS."
John 18:12
"Caiaphas
was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if
one man died for the people."
John 18:14
"I
have spoken openly to the world," JESUS replied.
"I always taught in synagogues or at the temple,
where all the Jews come
together. I said nothing in secret."
John 18:20
"Then
the Jews led JESUS from Caiaphas
to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid
ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace;
they wanted to be able to eat the Passover."
John 18:28
"Pilate said,
"Take HIM yourselves and judge HIM
by your own law." "But we have no right to execute anyone," the
Jews objected."
John 18:31
"Pilate
then went back inside the palace, summoned JESUS and asked YOU,
"Are YOU the king of the Jews?"
John
18:33
"JESUS said, "MY
kingdom is not of this world. If it were, MY servants
would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now MY
kingdom is from another place."
John 18:36
"What is truth?"
Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews
and said, "I find no basis for a charge against HIM."
John
18:38
"But it is your custom for me to release to
you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you
want me to release `the king of the Jews'?"
John
18:39
"The Soldiers went up to HIM again and
again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And
they struck HIM in the face."
John 19:3
"Once
more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, "Look, I am
bringing HIM out to you to let you
know that I find no basis for a charge against HIM."
John
19:4
"The Jews insisted, "We
have a law, and according to that law HE must die, because HE
claimed to be the SON of GOD."
John
19:7
"From then on, Pilate tried to set JESUS
free, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you let this man
go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes
Caesar."
John 19:12
"It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week,
about the sixth hour. "Here is your king,"
Pilate said to the Jews."
John 19:4
"Pilate
had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS
OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE
JEWS."
John 19:19
"Many of the Jews
read this sign, for the place where JESUS was crucified was
near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek."
John 19:20
"The
chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write `The
King of the Jews', but that this man claimed to be king
of the Jews."
John 19:21
"Now it was the day of Preparation,
and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews
did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they
asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down."
John 19:31
"Later,
Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of JESUS.
Now Joseph was a disciple of JESUS, but secretly
because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission,
he came and took the body away."
John 19:38
"Taking JESUS'
body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in
accordance with Jewish burial customs."
John 19:40
"Because
it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was
near by, they laid JESUS
there."
John 19:42
"On the evening of that first day of the week, when
the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the
Jews, JESUS came and stood among
them and said, "Peace be with you!"
John 20:19

when they met together, they asked him, "LORD, are YOUR
at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against
Caesar." Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favour,
said to Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and
stand trial before me there on these charges?" Paul answered: "I am
now standing before Caesar's court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong
to the Jews, as you yourself know very well. If,

who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews,
was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Peter and John,

recognised the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and
they to the Jews."

like a Jew. How is it, then, that you
force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? "We who
are Jews by birth and not `Gentile sinners'."
