Context
53Hivyo tangu siku hiyo wakawa wanafanya mipango ili wamuue Yesu. 54Kwa hiyo Yesu akawa hatembei hadharani miongoni mwa Wayahudi, bali alijitenga akaenda sehemu iliyo karibu na jangwa kwenye kijiji kiitwacho Efraimu. Akakaa huko na wanafunzi wake. 55Basi Pasaka ya Wayahudi ilipokuwa imekaribia, watu wengi walitoka vijijini wakaenda Yerusalemu kabla ya Pasaka ili wakajitakase. 56Watu wakawa wanamtafuta Yesu, nao waliposimama kwenye eneo la Hekalu waliulizana, Je, mtu huyu hatakuja kamwe kwenye Sikukuu? 57Viongozi wa makuhani na Mafarisayo walikuwa wametoa amri kuwa yeyote atakayejua mahali Yesu aliko, lazima atoe taarifa ili wapate kumkamata.
