JOHN 11:57 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone found out where Jesus was, they should report it, so that they might arrest him — the death-sentence decision from verse 53 is now operationalized: official orders are issued to report Jesus' location so He can be arrested and tried. This creates an atmosphere of danger and surveillance, establishing the context for Jesus' final week.
