Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, »Where is he?«
This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, »What do you think? –will he come to the Festival at all?«
After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking an opportunity to kill Him.
Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.
The Jews were astonished. »How does this man know anything of books,« they said, »although he has never been at any of the schools?«
»Where is he?« they inquired, but the man did not know.
