John:11:49-57
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And one of them ,
named Caiaphas ,
being the high priest that same year ,
said unto them ,
Ye know nothing at all ,
*
Nor consider that it is expedient for us ,
that one man should die for the people ,
and that the whole nation perish not .
*
And this spake he not of himself :
but being high priest that year ,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation ;
*
And not for that nation only ,
but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad .
*
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death .
*
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews ;
but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness ,
into a city called Ephraim ,
and there continued with his disciples .
*
And the Jews '
passover was nigh at hand :
and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover ,
to purify themselves .
*
Then sought they for Jesus ,
and spake among themselves ,
as they stood in the temple ,
What think ye ,
that he will not come to the feast ?
*
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment ,
that ,
if any man knew where he were ,
he should shew it ,
that they might take him .
