John 11:49-52

49Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time, said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about!

50You don’t realize that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”

51He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation.

52And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world.
