Giovanni 11:57

57 Or i principali sacerdoti, e i Farisei avean dato ordine che, se alcuno sapeva ove egli fosse, lo significasse, acciocchè lo pigliassero.

Giovanni 11:57 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:57

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees
Who were of the sanhedrim:

had given a commandment;
or published an edict, a decree of the senate:

that if any man knew where he were, he should show [it], that they
might take him;
and this made it a doubtful point with some, whether he would come to the feast or not; and was the reason why others sought for him, and inquired after him, that they might discover him to the chief priests and Pharisees, and have the promised reward.

57 Or i principali sacerdoti, e i Farisei avean dato ordine che, se alcuno sapeva ove egli fosse, lo significasse, acciocchè lo pigliassero.
