John 11:48-52

48If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our 1place and our nation.”

49But one of them, 2Caiaphas, 3who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

50nor do you take into account that 4it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

51Now he did not say this 5on his own initiative, but 6being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

52and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also 7gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
