John 11:50-52

Expanded Bible

⁵⁰ You don’t realize that it is better [^Lfor you] for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”

⁵¹ Caiaphas did not ·think of this himself [^Lsay this from himself]. As high priest that year, he was really prophesying that Jesus would die for their nation ⁵² and for God’s scattered children to bring them all together and make them one. [^CAlthough Caiaphas was thinking politically, his words predicted spiritual salvation.]
