John 11:55-57

New Life Version

The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Look for Jesus

⁵⁵ The special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt was soon. Many people from around the country came up to Jerusalem to go through the religious washing before the special supper. ⁵⁶ They looked for Jesus. They stood together in the house of God and asked each other, “What do you think? Will He come to the special supper?” ⁵⁷ The religious leaders of the Jews and the proud religious law-keepers had said that if any man knew where Jesus was, he should tell them. They wanted to take Him.
