The Passover near; they sought Jesus
They were seeking Jesus and saying, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”
The feast-keeping crowd seeks the true Passover.
Greek
Ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων… ἐζήτουν οὖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἔλεγον… Τί δοκεῖ ὑμῖν; ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν;
Ὁ ἑορτάζων ὄχλος ζητεῖ τὸν ἀληθινὸν πάσχα.
