So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”

They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
