(Lesson 4536)(07-04-24) John 11:54-57
“Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.”
In today’s quote, after learning about the plot to kill Him, Jesus stopped moving publicly among the Jews and retreated to a village called Ephraim with His disciples. With the Passover approaching, many people traveled to Jerusalem and began looking for Jesus, wondering if He would attend the feast despite the danger. The chief priests and Pharisees issued orders that anyone who learned of Jesus' whereabouts should report it so they could arrest Him. ~
