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. ⁵⁴ So Jesus no longer ·traveled [^Lwalked] openly among the ·people [Jews]. He ·left there [withdrew; departed] and went to a ·place [region] near the ·desert [wilderness], to a town called Ephraim and stayed there with his ·followers [disciples].
