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 11:55–57

The Jewish people and their leaders got ready for the Passover festival and for the coming of Jesus.

11:57a

But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders

(The chief priests and Pharisees had told everyone
The leading priests and members of the Jewish Pharisee group had said to the people,

But: The word But introduces a parenthetical comment with some background information. Some English translations do not translate this word. And NET and GW put this verse in parentheses. Introduce this parenthetical information in a way that is natural in your language.

the chief priests and Pharisees: This phrase refers to the highest Jewish leaders’ council. See how you translated this phrase in 11:47a.

had given orders: This phrase refers to the fact that these leaders had given a general command to all the people.

11:57b

that anyone who knew where He was must report it,

that if anybody knew where Jesus was, he should report it to them
“If any of you^(plur) find out where Jesus is, tell us^(excl).”

anyone who knew where He was: The word anyone is indefinite. It refers to any person who might happen to know or find out where Jesus was. Here are other ways to translate this expression:

whoever knew where Jesus was (GW)

if anyone found out where Jesus was (NIV)

must report it: This phrase means “should tell them.” Any person who knew where Jesus was should report that information to the Jewish leaders. This was the command given by the Jewish leaders. For example:

should tell them (JBP)

must inform them (NJB)

General Comment on 11:57b

In some languages it may be natural to reorder the information in 11:57b. For example:

told the people to let them know if any of them saw Jesus (CEV)

11:57c

so that they could arrest Him.

so they could arrest him/Jesus.)
They wanted Jesus to be arrested.
Their aim/purpose was to arrest Jesus.

so that: This phrase introduces the Jewish leaders’ purpose in giving their command. They wanted to know where Jesus was in order to arrest him.

they could arrest Him: This clause refers to the fact that the Jewish leaders planned to persuade the Romans to arrest Jesus. They were not planning to arrest him themselves, so in some languages it may be natural to make this clear:

so that they might persuade the Romans to arrest him

General Comment on 11:57a–c

In some languages it may be natural to translate the Jewish leaders’ command as direct speech. For example:

^aThe leading priests and the Pharisees had commanded the people, ^b“If any of you knows where Jesus is, tell us.” ^cThey gave this command in the hope of arresting Jesus.
