I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "El'azar, come out!"
44
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45
Therefore many of the Yehudim, who came to Miryam and saw that which Yeshua did, believed in him.
46
But some of them went away to the Perushim, and told them the things which Yeshua had done.
47
The chief Kohanim therefore and the Perushim gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
49
But a certain one of them, Kayafa, being Kohen Gadol that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50
nor do you take account that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51
Now he didn't say this of himself, but being Kohen Gadol that year, he prophesied that Yeshua would die for the nation,
52
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
