John 11:51 in Context — John 11

49 L’un d’eux, Caïphe, qui était souverain sacrificateur cette année-là, leur dit: Vous n’y entendez rien;

50 vous ne réfléchissez pas qu’il est dans votre intérêt qu’un seul homme meure pour le peuple, et que la nation entière ne périsse pas.

51 Or, il ne dit pas cela de lui-même; mais étant souverain sacrificateur cette année-là, il prophétisa que Jésus devait mourir pour la nation.

52 Et ce n’était pas pour la nation seulement; c’était aussi afin de réunir en un seul corps les enfants de Dieu dispersés.

53 Dès ce jour, ils résolurent de le faire mourir.
