The Holy Spirit inspires John, who is coming to the end of his life, to record some of the discussions that Jesus had had with "the Jews". 

It seems that when John refers to the "the Jews" he is talking about the leaders of the Old Testament Temple Religion that was practised in his day. Most of the characters in the New Testament are Jews descendants of Abraham and it is thus that most of the disciples who followed Jesus were the Jews who in The Acts are contrasted with the "Greeks".

An awful lot of evil has been brought into this world by the enmity which has been produced by blaming the Jewish people for the deceits of the Temple and the persecution that resulted in the Crucifixion and divided the Infant Church.

As Christians today we have to accept that the Crucifixion of Son is the ETERNAL intention of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. The only humans to know this completely are "True man" nailed to the cross on Calvary and His sinless mother. 

We have to accept that our sins are such an offence to the Supreme Person IAMFATHERSONAND HOLYSPIRRIT that Only God himself can create the necessary forgiveness by becoming part of and experiencing our physical universe, the strictures that SON and we were born with and into.

I always wonder about the timing of the history of God's Salvation. Pilate, Annas, Caiaphas did not represent a generation more wicked that any other of the Old Testament. There have been many occasions since "Those days" when the Church founded on Peter has been only a part of this world and in direct opposition to the words of Jesus.

The lesson that I learn is that I am responsible for my own life but can always turn to the unseen community of faithful believers, the Mystical Body of Christ, the New Holy Family founded directly from the cross, the Church of Love, Our Lady and the Saints and mingle my prayers with theirs that the grace won for us on Calvary will flood out over our world inspiring us to seek pardon for all our sins and for those of the Holy Souls who together with us  are also hoping for the Second Coming.
