John 11:57

John 11:57

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.

John 11:57 The chief priests and the Pharisees. The Sanhedrin had commanded that any man who could direct them to Jesus should bring word. The hostility that began three years before, on the Lord's first visit after his ministry began, had now fully ripened, and the "hour was at hand" (Matthew 26:45).
