²⁸ And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.

¹⁷ But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed `himself' to him that judgeth righteously:

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹² and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

¹¹ Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and `against' God.

¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,

¹³ and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:

¹⁴ for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.

³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

⁴⁸ Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),

⁵¹ Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?

⁵² They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and `yet' none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, `even' Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

¹¹ Blessed are ye when `men' shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

⁷ Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings.
