John 11:49-51

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴⁹ One of them, Caiaphas, was high priest that year. He said to them, `You know nothing.

⁵⁰ You do not understand. It is better for us if one person dies for the people. Then the whole nation will not be broken down.'

⁵¹ He himself did not understand what he was saying. But he was the high priest that year. God spoke through him to say that Jesus should die for those people.
