Esther 3:8-13
English Standard Version
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. (A)Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not to the king's profit to tolerate them. 9 If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay 10,000 talents[a] of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king's business, that they may put it into the king's treasuries.” 10 (B)So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman (C)the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, (D)the enemy of the Jews. 11 And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”
12 (E)Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's (F)satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, (G)to every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written (H)in the name of King Ahasuerus (I)and sealed with the king's signet ring. 13 Letters were sent (J)by couriers to all the king's provinces with instruction (K)to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, (L)in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, (M)and to plunder their goods.

Paul in Rome
17 After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, (A)though I had done nothing against our people or (B)the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 18 When they had examined me, they (C)wished to set me at liberty, (D)because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. 19 But because the Jews objected, I was compelled (E)to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against (F)my nation. 20 For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is (G)because of (H)the hope of Israel that I am wearing (I)this (J)chain.” 21 And they said to him, “We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of (K)the brothers coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you. 22 But we desire to hear from you what your views are, for with regard to this (L)sect we know that everywhere (M)it is spoken against.”
