Did Israel Reject Jesus - Part 1

(John 1:11)  He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

(John 1:12)  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
(John 1:13)  who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

(John 1:14)  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

(John 1:15)  John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.' "

(John 1:16)  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

(John 1:29)  The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

(John 1:30)  This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.'
(John 1:31)  I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water."

(John 1:35)  Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
(John 1:36)  And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!
(John 1:37)  And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

(John 1:44)  Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
(John 1:45)  Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

(John 1:46)  And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
(John 1:47)  Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
(John 1:48)  Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
(John 1:49)  Nathanael ...

(John 3:22)  After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized.

(John 4:7)  A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."
(John 4:8)  For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
(John 4:9)  Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. 

(John 4:10)  Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
(John 4:11)  The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
(John 4:12)  Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

(John 4:25)  The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."

(John 4:26)  Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."
(John 4:27)  And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"
(John 4:28)  The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,
(John 4:29)  "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

(John 4:39)  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did."
(John 4:40)  So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
(John 4:41)  And many more believed because of His own word.
(John 4:42)  Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

(John 4:43)  Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.
(John 4:44)  For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
(John 4:45)  So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.

(John 4:46)  So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

(John 4:50)  Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
(John 4:51)  And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"
(John 4:52)  Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
(John 4:53)  So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.

(John 5:1)  After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

(John 5:15)  The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
(John 5:16)  For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
(John 5:17)  But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."
(John 5:18)  Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

(John 5:37)  And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

(John 5:38)  But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
(John 5:39)  You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
(John 5:40)  But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
(John 6:1)  After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
(John 6:2)  And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

(John 6:10)  And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
 
(John 6:66)  From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
(John 6:67)  Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"
(John 6:68)  But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
(John 6:69)  Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

(John 7:1)  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill him.

(John 7:14)  Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

(John 7:25)  Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?
(John 7:26)  But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

(John 7:27)  However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."
(John 7:28)  Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
(John 7:29)  But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."
(John 7:30)  Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
(John 7:31)  And many of the people believed in Him, ...

(John 7:31)  And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"

(John 7:32)  The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

(John 7:33)  Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
(John 7:34)  You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come."
(John 7:35)  Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Gentiles [Greeks] and teach them [the Greeks]?

(John 7:36)  What is this thing that He said, 'You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
(John 7:37)  On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
(John 7:38)  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
(John 7:39)  But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(John 7:40)  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
(John 7:41)  Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

(John 7:42)  Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
(John 7:43)  So there was a division among the people because of Him.

(John 8:13)  The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."
(John 8:14)  Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

(John 8:19)  Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

(John 8:23)  And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
(John 8:24)  Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
(John 8:25)  Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
(John 8:26)  I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."
(John 8:27)  They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

(John 8:28)  Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
(John 8:29)  And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."
(John 8:30)  As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

(John 8:31)  Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
(John 8:32)  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

(John 8:33)  They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, 'You will be made free'?"

(John 8:34)  Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
(John 8:35)  And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
(John 8:36)  Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
(John 8:37)  "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

(John 8:39)  They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
(John 8:40)  But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
(John 8:41)  You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God."

(Exodus 4:21)  And the LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.
(Exodus 4:22)  Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD: "Israel is My son, My firstborn.
(Exodus 4:23)  So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.

(Hosea 11:1)  When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
(Jeremiah 31:1)  At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

(Jeremiah 31:6)  For there shall be a day When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim, 'Arise, and let us go up to Zion, To the LORD our God.' "
(Jeremiah 31:7)  For thus says the LORD: "Sing with gladness for Jacob, And shout among the chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, 'O LORD, save Your people, The remnant of Israel!'
(Jeremiah 31:8)  Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child And the one who labors with child, together; A great throng shall return there.
(Jeremiah 31:9)  They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. 

... I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; ...

... For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.

(John 8:38)  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

(John 8:41)  You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God." 

(John 8:42)  Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
(John 8:43)  Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
(John 8:44)  You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own soul [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it.

(John 8:45)  But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

(John 8:46)  Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

(John 8:47)  He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."

(John 8:47)  He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
(John 8:48)  Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
