John 11:53

51Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

52and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

53So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

55Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
