John 11:49-52

49 But one of them, 1Caiaphas, 2who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all.
50 Nor do you understand that 3it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish."
51 He did not say this of his own accord, but 4being high priest that year 5he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 and 6not for the nation only, but also 7to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
