They mobbed Jesus and threw him out of the city, dragging him to the edge of the cliff on the hill on which the city had been built, ready to hurl him off.
When they heard this, they picked up rocks to stone him, but Jesus concealed himself as he passed through the crowd and went away from there.
And Jesus, our sin-sacrifice, also suffered death outside the city walls to make us holy by his own blood.
I’ve only told you the truth that I’ve heard in my Father’s presence, but now you are wanting me dead—is that how Abraham acted?
Even though you are descendants of Abraham, you desire to kill me because the message I bring has not found a home in your hearts.
Evil ones take aim at the poor and helpless; they are ready to slaughter those who do right.
When everyone present heard Jesus’ words, they erupted with furious rage.
