John:11:45-57
gltv@John:11:45 @ Then many of the Jews, those coming to Mary, and having seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
gltv@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
gltv@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled a sanhedrin, and said, What are we doing, for this man does many miracles?
gltv@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone this way, all will believe into him, and the Romans will come and will take away from us both the place and the nation.
gltv@John:11:49 @ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas being high priest of that year, said to them, You know nothing,
gltv@John:11:50 @ nor consider that it is profitable for us that one man die for the people, and not all the nation to perish.
gltv@John:11:51 @ But he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation,
gltv@John:11:52 @ and not only on behalf of the nation, but that He also might gather into one the children of God who had been scattered.
gltv@John:11:53 @ Then from that day, they took counsel that they might kill Him.
gltv@John:11:54 @ Then Jesus no longer walked publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near a deserted place, to a city being called Ephraim, and stayed there with His disciples.
gltv@John:11:55 @ And the Passover of the Jews was near. And many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover, that they might purify themselves.
gltv@John:11:56 @ Then they sought Jesus, and said with one another, standing in the temple, What does it seem to you? That He does not at all come to the Feast?
gltv@John:11:57 @ And all the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands that if anyone knew where He is, he should inform so that they might seize Him.
