It's obviously paraphrasing. I know, I know, most people get their jimmies rustled when it's not directly quoted, but almost every version in the link you posted talks about Jews, specifically being hostile to all people. Even if the translation doesn't name them specifically, it's implied by the question "who killed Jesus? who killed the prophets? who persecutes the Christians?" Jews.
