^11 (A)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

The Plot to Kill Jesus^(A)

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, ^(B)and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

^18 (A)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

¹⁴ But if you have ^(A)bitter envy and ^[a]self-seeking in your hearts, ^(B)do not boast and lie against the truth. ^15 (C)This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. ¹⁶ For ^(D)where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Yet ^(C)because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ^(D)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. ^(E)If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But ^(F)all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ^22 (G)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, ^(H)but now they have no excuse for their sin. ^23 (I)He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them ^(J)the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have ^(K)seen and also hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ^(L)‘They hated Me without a cause.’

⁴⁸ If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”
