John 11:55-57

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵⁵ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. Many people from all around the country went to Jerusalem. They had to make themselves clean according to the law before the Passover Feast.

⁵⁶ They were looking around for Jesus. As they were standing in the temple they talked to one another. They said, `What do you think? Do you think that he will come to the feast?'

⁵⁷ Both the chief priest and the Pharisees had told the people, `If any man knows where he is, tell us. We want to catch him.'
