John 11:51 in context

  1. 49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
  2. 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.”
  3. 51Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
  4. 52and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
  5. 53So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
