They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they said to one another, “What do you think? Surely he won’t come to the festival?”
In context
54So Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews. He withdrew to the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples. 55The Passover of the Jews was near, and many people went up from the countryside to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. 56They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they said to one another, “What do you think? Surely he won’t come to the festival?” 57Meanwhile the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where he was should report it, so that they could arrest him.
