John 11:56

The Plot to Kill Jesus

55Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover. 56They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”57But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.

Do you think Jesus will come to this Passover ceremony?”
Translation for Translators
The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him.

But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple courtyard they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
