João 11:50

Listen to João 11:50
50 Não percebeis que vos é melhor que morra um homem pelo povo, e que não pereça toda a nação”.

João 11:50 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:50

Nor consider that it is expedient for us
Priests, Levites, Pharisees, the sanhedrim, and ecclesiastical rulers of the people; who, as Caiaphas apprehended, must suffer in their characters and revenues, must quit their honourable and gainful posts and places, if Jesus went on and succeeded at this rate: wherefore it was most expedient and advantageous for them, which was the main thing to be considered in such a council, so he thought it was,

that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation
perish not;
he proceeded entirely upon this political principle, that a public good ought to be preferred to a private one; that it was no matter what the man was, whether innocent or not; common prudence, and the public safety of the nation, required him to fall a sacrifice, rather than the Romans should be exasperated and provoked to such a degree, as to threaten the utter ruin and destruction of the whole nation.

João 11:50 In-Context

48 Se o deixarmos, todos crerão nele, e então os romanos virão e tirarão tanto o nosso lugar como a nossa nação”.
49 Então um deles, chamado Caifás, que naquele ano era o sumo sacerdote, tomou a palavra e disse: “Nada sabeis!
50 Não percebeis que vos é melhor que morra um homem pelo povo, e que não pereça toda a nação”.
51 Ele não disse isso de si mesmo, mas, sendo o sumo sacerdote naquele ano, profetizou que Jesus morreria pela nação judaica,
52 e não somente por aquela nação, mas também pelos filhos de Deus que estão espalhados, para reuni-los num povo.
