John 11:55 in Context — John 11

53 Então desde aquele dia se aconselhavam juntos para o matarem.

54 De maneira que Jesus já não andava mais abertamente entre os judeus, mas foi-se dali para a terra junto ao deserto, a uma cidade chamada Efraim; e ali andava com seus discípulos.

55 E estava perto a páscoa dos judeus, e muitos daquela terra subiram a Jerusalém antes da páscoa, para se purificarem.

56 Buscavam pois a Jesus, e diziam uns aos outros estando no Templo: Que vos parece? Que ele não virá à festa?
