John 7:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ At the feast ·some people [the Jewish leaders; ^Lthe Jews] were ·looking for [watching for] him and saying, “Where is that man?”

¹² Within the large crowd there, many people were ·whispering [arguing; murmuring; grumbling] to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”

Others said, “No, he ·fools [deceives; misleads] the people.” ¹³ But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly, because they were afraid of the ·elders [the Jewish leaders; ^Lthe Jews].
