| 11:45 | Επομένως, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. |
| 11:46 | But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done. |
| 11:47 | Και έτσι, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs. |
| 11:48 | If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.” |
| 11:49 | Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, τους είπε: “You do not understand anything. |
| 11:50 | Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.” |
| 11:51 | Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation. |
| 11:52 | And not only for the nation, but in order to gather together as one the children of God who have been dispersed. |
| 11:53 | Επομένως, Από εκείνη την ημέρα, they planned to put him to death. |
| 11:54 | Και έτσι, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples. |
| 11:55 | Now the Passover of the Jews was near. And many from the countryside ascended to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might sanctify themselves. |
| 11:56 | Επομένως, they were seeking Jesus. And they conferred with one another, while standing in the temple: “What do you think? Will he come to the feast day?” |
