John 11:51-53

Expanded Bible

⁵¹ Caiaphas did not ·think of this himself [^Lsay this from himself]. As high priest that year, he was really prophesying that Jesus would die for their nation ⁵² and for God’s scattered children to bring them all together and make them one. [^CAlthough Caiaphas was thinking politically, his words predicted spiritual salvation.]

⁵³ [^LSo from] That day they started ·planning [plotting] to kill Jesus.
