Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him .
bbe @
John:11:46 @
But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done .
bbe @
John:11:47 @
Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said ,
What are we doing ?
This man is doing a number of signs .
bbe @
John:11:48 @
If we let him go on in this way ,
everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation .
bbe @
John:11:49 @
But one of them ,
Caiaphas ,
who was high priest that year ,
said to them ,
You have no knowledge of anything ;
bbe @
John:11:50 @
You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people ,
so that all the nation may not come to destruction .
bbe @
John:11:51 @
He did not say this of himself ,
but being the high priest that year he said ,
as a prophet ,
that Jesus would be put to death for the nation ;
bbe @
John:11:52 @
And not for that nation only ,
but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world .
bbe @
John:11:53 @
And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death .

John:11:54 @
So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews ,
but went from there into the country near to the waste land ,
to a town named Ephraim ,
where he was for some time with the disciples .
bbe @
John:11:55 @
Now the Passover of the Jews was near ,
and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover .
bbe @
John:11:56 @
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple ,
What is your opinion ?
Will he not come to the feast ?
bbe @
John:11:57 @
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was ,
he was to give them word ,
so that they might take him .
