John 11:46-57

46ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wentG565 toG4314 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 toldG2036 themG846 whatG3739 JesusG2424 had doneG4160.

47ThenG3767 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 convenedG4863 the SanhedrinG48921 andG2532 saidG2036, “WhatG5101 are we to doG4160? ThisG3778 manG444 is performingG4160 manyG4183 signsG4592. 48IfG1437 we letG863 HimG846 go on like thisG3779, everyoneG3956 will believeG4100 inG1519 HimG846, and thenG2532 theG3588 RomansG4514 will comeG2064 andG2532 take awayG142 bothG2532 ourG1473 placeG5117 andG2532 our nationG1484.”

49ButG1161 oneG5100G1520 ofG1537 themG846, named CaiaphasG2533, who wasG1510 high priestG749 thatG1565 yearG1763, saidG2036 to themG846, “YouG4771 knowG1492 nothing at allG3756G3762! 50You do not realizeG3761G3049 thatG3754 it is betterG4851 for youG4771 thatG2443 oneG1520 manG444 dieG599 forG5228 theG3588 peopleG2992 than that theG3588 wholeG3650 nationG1484 perishG3361G622.”

Caiaphas did not sayG3756G2036 thisG3778 onG575 his ownG1438. InsteadG235, as high priestG749 thatG1565 yearG1763, he was prophesyingG4395 thatG3754 JesusG2424 wouldG3195 dieG599 forG5228 theG3588 nationG1484, 52andG2532 notG3756 onlyG3440 forG5228 theG3588 nationG1484, butG235 alsoG2532 for theG3588 scatteredG1287 childrenG5043 of GodG2316, to gather them togetherG4863 intoG1519 oneG1520.

53SoG3767 fromG575 thatG1565 day onG2250 they plottedG1011 toG2443 killG615 HimG846. 54As a resultG3767, JesusG2424 no longerG3765 went aboutG4043 publiclyG3954 amongG1722 theG3588 JewsG2453, butG235 He withdrewG565G1564 toG1519 a townG4172 calledG3004 EphraimG2187 inG1519 an areaG5561 nearG1451 theG3588 wildernessG2048. And He stayedG3306 thereG2546 withG3326 theG3588 disciplesG3101.

55NowG1161 theG3588 JewishG3588G2453 PassoverG3957 wasG1510 nearG1451, andG2532 manyG4183 people went upG305 fromG1537 theG3588 countryG5561 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 purifyG48 themselvesG1438 beforeG4253 theG3588 PassoverG3957. 56They kept looking forG2212 JesusG2424 andG2532 askingG2036 one anotherG3326G240 as they stoodG2476 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts,2 “WhatG5101 do you thinkG1380G4771? Will He comeG3361G2064 toG1519 theG3588 feastG1859 at allG3756?” 57ButG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 had givenG1325 ordersG1785 thatG2443 anyoneG5100 who knewG1097 whereG4226 He wasG1510 must reportG3377 it, so thatG3704 they could arrestG4084 HimG846.
