John 11:53 - Forerunner Commentary

John 11:53

51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

52 and ^anot for that nation only, but ^balso that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

53 Then, from that day on, they plotted to ^aput Him to death.

54 ^aTherefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called ^bEphraim, and there remained with His disciples.

55 ^aAnd the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to ^bpurify themselves.

56 ^aThen they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that He will not come to the feast?”

57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might ^aseize Him.
