Is that why Britian banned all Jews from entering the country for over 300 years ?

He was talking about the Jews who rejected him so that would include the Jews of today.

Try reading John 8 from the beginning instead of taking verses out of context and pulling them apart. You have to understand what Jesus was up against at that time and what they said to him in verses preceding that.

In that Chapter and verse Jesus is having a discourse with THE PHARISEES, not the Jews as in the nation of Israel.
I have no clue why or if Britain banned all Jews from entering the country for over 300 years.

Regius F… gave a very good answer.
Jesus was not saying that all Jews were spawn of Satan, but that the Jews who rejected Him and the word of God but trusted in their lineage from Abraham to save them.

He did not call all Jews this! He was referring to the leaders who were rejecting His teaching, claiming He was possessed and a bastard Son of Mary, and all the while thinking that their relationship with Abraham would save them. They claimed that Abraham was their Father (meaning ancestor) but Jesus said that your Father can be proven by what you do. Had Abraham been their spiritual father, they would do what Abraham did; He was showing that their real spiritual father was the devil. Certainly this did not apply to all Jews since almost all of the first disciples were Jewish.

Mine says of your father, the devil... . They didn't understand the law, and that Jesus fulfilled the law.
I don't know about why Britain banned the Jews, unless the Britain's were being influenced by the father of lies.

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees I believe.
All of Jesus disciples were Jews, they were not pawns of Satan!

HE(JESUS) was on the mount of olives and talking about HE has the word of the LORD and if they(the people) were truely followers of GOD then they would be saved. but because they called JESUS a liar and false profit HE said people who chose not to listen would be children of satin.

Did you know Jesus was Jewish???????????????????????????????????
Many of the sayings the NT attributed to him were not really his, since the NT was written at least 100 years after his death.
What the NT says is not connected to the expulsion of the Jews from England.

God, Jesus called them that, yes... in addition he called them "broods of vipers" "and white washed tombs"(dead and unaware). They tried to attain righteousness by OT laws!!! "Therefore NO ONE will be declared righteous in His sight by observing the law, rather through the law we become conscious of sin" Rom 3:20 When you say you are doing good of your own will and merit, YOU SPIT ON THE CROSS OF CHRIST.
