SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:45–57: The Jewish leaders plotted to kill Jesus

This section tells that many Jews who saw Jesus raise Lazarus believed in him. But others reported him to the Pharisees. The council met to discuss what to do with Jesus. They were afraid that if everyone believed in Jesus, the Roman government would destroy the Jewish temple and nation. The high priest Caiaphas said that it was better for Jesus to die than the whole nation be destroyed. That was true, but not in the way that Caiaphas meant. Jesus’ death would bring salvation to all people.

Jesus no longer walked around in public and stayed in Ephraim. When people went to Jerusalem for the Passover feast, they looked for Jesus, thinking that he would not go there. That was because the chief priests and Pharisees had ordered people to tell them if they knew where Jesus was. Then they could arrest him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Jewish council decided to kill Jesus

The plot to kill Jesus

Paragraph 11:53–54

This paragraph tells the Jewish leaders’ response to what Caiaphas said, and Jesus’ response to them.

11:54a

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews,

So Jesus did not continue to move publicly among the Jews.
So he stopped going/traveling around in public among the people of Judea.

As a result: This word introduces what Jesus did as a result of the Jewish leaders’ plot to kill him. The result was that Jesus stayed away from people. For example:

So (NJB)

Because of this plot against him (CEV)

no longer went about publicly: This phrase indicates that Jesus had been walking about (around) openly (not secretly) and stopped doing so. For example:

stopped going around in public (CEV)

no longer walked about openly (NRSV)

among the Jews: This phrase here means in Judea, among the people of Jerusalem and the region that surrounded it. This was the region where Jesus was in the most danger.

11:54b

but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness.

Instead he went away to a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim,
He went to the town of Ephraim, which was near the desert, (CEV)

but: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as but here connects a negative statement (11:54a) to a positive statement (11:54b). This kind of sentence emphasizes the positive statement. Languages have different ways to indicate this type of emphasis. Here are some ways to show the emphasis:

Use the conjunction but as in the BSB.
So Jesus did not travel openly in Judea, but left and went to a place near the desert, to a town named Ephraim.… (GNT)
Use a conjunction other than but. This is a common way in English to show this type of emphasis. For example:
So Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he left Bethany and went to the countryside near the desert, to a city called Ephraim…. (GW)
Do not use a conjunction. For example:
Because of this plot against him, Jesus stopped going around in public. He went to the town of Ephraim, which was near the desert…. (CEV)
Change the order of the clauses. For example:
So Jesus left and went to the town of Ephraim near the desert. He no longer walked around publicly in Judea.

You should translate this emphasis in the way that is most natural in your language.

He withdrew: This phrase means that Jesus left the area around Bethany and Jerusalem.

to a town called Ephraim: The phrase a town called Ephraim probably refers to a village about 12 miles (20 kilometers) northeast of Jerusalem. It was off the main trade routes.

in an area near the wilderness: The phrase the wilderness refers to an area where nobody lived. Ephraim was in the area near the wilderness or desert. For example:

on the edge of the desert

near the land where nobody can live (Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)

11:54c

And He stayed there with the disciples.

where he stayed with his disciples.
and he stayed there with his disciples. (CEV)

And He stayed there with the disciples: This clause means that Jesus and his disciples stayed for a while in the town called Ephraim. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

where he stayed with the disciples (GNT)

disciples: See how you translated this word in 11:7 and 11:12.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις

˱in˲_public ˓was˒_walking among the Jews

Here, the Jews does not refer to the Jewish people in general. It could refer to: (1) the Jewish leaders. Alternate translation: [among the Jewish authorities] (2) the people living in Judea. Alternate translation: [among the Judeans]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις

˱in˲_public ˓was˒_walking among the Jews

John uses walked openly to mean “walked around where everyone could see him.” If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [walked around where all the Jews could see him]

τὴν χώραν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ἀλλά ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τήν χώραν ἐγγύς τῆς ἐρήμου εἰς Ἐφραίμ λεγομένην πόλιν κἀκεῖ ἔμεινεν μετά τῶν μαθητῶν)

Here, country could refer to: (1) an area of land. Alternate translation: [the area] or [the district] (2) the rural area outside cities where fewer people live. Alternate translation: [the countryside] or [the rural area]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κἀκεῖ ἔμεινεν μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν

and_there ˱he˲_remained (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ἀλλά ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τήν χώραν ἐγγύς τῆς ἐρήμου εἰς Ἐφραίμ λεγομένην πόλιν κἀκεῖ ἔμεινεν μετά τῶν μαθητῶν)

Jesus and his disciples stayed in Ephraim for a short period of time. If your language requires a length of time for stayed, you can use a general expression. Alternate translation: [There he stayed with the disciples for a time]
