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 Pero esto no lo dijo por su propia cuenta sino que, como era sumo sacerdote ese año, profetizó que Jesús moriría por la nación judía,

52 y no solo por esa nación sino también por los hijos de Dios que estaban dispersos, para congregarlos y unificarlos.

53 Así que desde ese día convinieron en quitarle la vida.

54 Por eso Jesús ya no andaba en público entre los judíos. Se retiró más bien a una región cercana al desierto, a un pueblo llamado Efraín, donde se quedó con sus discípulos.

55 Faltaba poco para la Pascua judía, así que muchos subieron del campo a Jerusalén para su purificación ceremonial antes de la Pascua.
