Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

³¹ Then ^(A)the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

⁵⁹ Then ^(A)they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, ^(B)going^[a] through the midst of them, and so passed by.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews ^(A)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ^(B)making Himself equal with God.

⁸ The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to ^(A)stone You, and are You going there again?”

⁶ Now David was greatly distressed, for ^(A)the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was ^[a]grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. ^(B)But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

⁴ So Moses ^(A)cried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to ^(B)stone^[a] me!”

⁵⁸ and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And ^(A)the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, ^(B)receive my spirit.”

^52 (A)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of ^(B)the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,

^35 (A)that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, ^(B)from the blood of righteous Abel to ^(C)the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

^35 (A)And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.
