John 11:50-52

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵⁰ You do not understand that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed.’ ⁵¹ He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the dispersed children of God.
