Biblical influences on antisemitism

New Testament
The New Testament of the Christian Bible on Jesus Christ's death and treatment from Jews:


 * “... And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. ...", John 5:16.


 * “... After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. ...", John 7:1.


 * “... Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” ...”, John 8:42-47


 * “... I and the Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” ...”, John 10:30-10:32.


 * “... For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last! ...”, 1 Thessalonians 2:14-2:16.

Jewish deicide
Jewish deicide is the charge that Jews as a people hold the responsibility for killing Jesus Christ. This claim led to the slur “Christ-killer” and to the persecution of Jewish people, which includes massacres and forced expulsions of Jews from many countries. Multiple biblical verses have been used on behalf of the deicide charge.

The murder of Jesus being blamed on Jews as a people was a commonly held position among the Early Church Fathers and Jesus' murder was also officially blamed on the Jews by the Catholic Church.
