John 11:55-57

New Matthew Bible

⁵⁵ And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and many people went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke between themselves as they stood in the temple: What do you think, seeing he is not coming to the feast? ⁵⁷ The high priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it so that they might seize him.
