'''Top misquoted Bible verses''' are key phrases and sentences in [[Scripture]] which frequently are the subject of misuse and taking out of context to promote concepts and behavior the Bible does not substantiate. They include:
* {{bibleref|John|8|44|ESV}}, exploited by [[antisemite]]s throughout history and currently to falsely brand Jewish people ''en masse'' as "children of Satan" and justify violence
** despite fragrantly grave misconceptions throughout centuries, the [[Gospel of John]]'s usage of the term "[[the Jews]]" does ''not'' to ''all'' Jewish people, but rather the coalition of leadership in Jesus's time which opposed Him, in contrast to the Judean populace which loved and followed the Messiah; the audience Jesus directed in John 8:44's was only one particular group of Jews, and was centered on exposing Satan as the originator of lies rather than an ''ad hoc'' attack on Jewish people
** the New Testament emphasizes an attitude of love and compassion, evident in the conversion into Christianity of fanatical Pharisee Paul, who went on to write a number of Epistles; thus, verses like John 8:44 do not sanction violence against innocent individuals
*{{bibleref|Revelation|2|9|ESV}} and [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%203:9&version=ESV 3:9], also cited by antisemites, particularly neo-Nazis and the [[Nation of Islam]], to promote "Jewish Antichrist" eschatology hoaxes
