John 7:11

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

At the festival the Jewish leaders were looking for him. They said, “Where is that man?”

See the chapter Copy

The people looked for Jesus. They stood in the Temple area and asked each other, “Is he coming to the festival? What do you think?”

The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent some priests and Levites to John to ask him, “Who are you?” He told them the truth.

After this, Jesus traveled around the country of Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jewish leaders there wanted to kill him.

But no one was brave enough to talk about him openly. They were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

The Jewish leaders were amazed and said, “How did this man learn so much? He never had the kind of teaching we had!”

They asked him, “Where is this man?” He answered, “I don’t know.”
