Caiaphas prophesies
47
Then the chief priests and Pharisees called together the council and said, "What are we going to do? This man is doing many miraculous signs!
48
If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our people."
49
One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!
50
You don't see that it is better for you that one man die for the people rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
51
He didn't say this on his own. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would soon die for the nation—
52
and not only for the nation. Jesus would also die so that God's children scattered everywhere would be gathered together as one.
53
From that day on they plotted to kill him.
