John 11:54-56

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁴ Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.

⁵⁵ And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.

⁵⁶ They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
