Juan 11:53 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:53

Then from that day forth
Caiaphas's reasoning appeared so good, and his advice so agreeable, that it was at once, and generally assented to, except by one or two, as Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea; that ever after this,

they took counsel together;
at certain times, and that very often, and agreed in their counsel,

for to put him to death;
this they resolved upon, before there was any legal process, before any crime was charged upon him, or any proof given, or he was heard what he had to say for himself; so highly approved of was Caiaphas's motion, to put him to death, right or wrong, whether he was innocent or not; that they had nothing to do, but to consult of ways and means of getting him into their hands, and of taking away his life in a manner, as would he most for their own credit among the people, and to his shame and disgrace, and at the most proper and suitable time.

Juan 11:53 In-Context

51 Ahora bien, no dijo esto de su propia iniciativa, sino que siendo el sumo sacerdote ese año, profetizó que Jesús iba a morir por la nación;

52 y no sólo por la nación, sino también para reunir en uno a los hijos de Dios que están esparcidos.

53 Así que, desde ese día planearon entre sí para matarle.

54 Por eso Jesús ya no andaba públicamente entre los judíos, sino que se fue de allí a la región cerca del desierto, a una ciudad llamada Efraín; y se quedó allí con los discípulos.

55 Y estaba cerca la Pascua de los judíos, y muchos de la región subieron a Jerusalén antes de la Pascua para purificarse.
