John 11:50 - Forerunner Commentary

John 11:50

48 If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”

49 And one of them, ^aCaiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

50 ^anor do you consider that it is expedient for¹ us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.”

51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

52 and ^anot for that nation only, but ^balso that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

53 Then, from that day on, they plotted to ^aput Him to death.

54 ^aTherefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called ^bEphraim, and there remained with His disciples.
