John 11:51-53

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵¹ Caiaphas didn’t say this on his own. As chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation. ⁵² He prophesied that Jesus wouldn’t die merely for this nation, but that Jesus would die to bring God’s scattered children together and make them one.

⁵³ From that day on, the Jewish council planned to kill Jesus.
