John 11:50 in context
- 48If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
- 49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
- 50nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
- 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.
