John 11:50
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
In context
48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
