| | As I mentioned before on Andy's talk page, the usage of "the Jews" especially in the Gospel of John is highly misleading—the sect(s) Jesus rebuke(s) is/are the same between the Four Gospels, with the Synoptics clarifying its reference to the Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, and/or chief priests. The actual rendition in almost all instances (excluding John 4:22 and perhaps a few others) should be "the ''Judeans''," as explained clearly [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Social_Science_Commentary_on_the_Gospel/Soi3potQSR8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=gospel+of+john+%22the+judeans%22&pg=PA44&printsec=frontcover here], [https://www.chosenpeople.com/is-the-gospel-of-john-antisemitic/ here], [https://www.jewishjewels.org/news-letters/the-gospel-of-john/ here], and [https://www.jpost.com/Christian-In-Israel/History/The-Book-of-John-and-the-Jews-308397 here]. | | As I mentioned before on Andy's talk page, the usage of "the Jews" especially in the Gospel of John is highly misleading—the sect(s) Jesus rebuke(s) is/are the same between the Four Gospels, with the Synoptics clarifying its reference to the Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, and/or chief priests.
