John 11:49-57

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 11:47-53

11:47-53 The chief priests and Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrin: "What are we going to do?" they said, "because this man does many signs. If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and will take away our place and will destroy our nation." One of them, called Caiaphas, who was High Priest for that year, said to them: "You are witless creatures. You do not think it out that it is to our good that one man should die for the people, rather than that the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 11:54-57

11:54-57 So Jesus walked no longer openly among the Jews, but he went away from them to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and he stayed there with his disciples. Now the Passover Feast of the Jews was near; and many from the country areas went up to Jerusalem before the Passover Feast to purify themselves. So they were looking for Jesus; and, as they stood in the Temple precincts, they were talking with each other and saying: "What do you think? Surely it is... read more

And one of them, named Caiaphas ,.... See Gill on Matthew 26:3 , See Gill on Luke 3:2 , See Gill on John 18:13 . being the high priest that same year ; the high priesthood originally was not annual, but for life; but towards the close of the second temple, it came into the hands of the king, to appoint who would to be high priest F15 Misn. Yebamot, c. 6. sect. 4. ; and it became venal; it was purchased with money; insomuch that they changed the priesthood once a twelve... read more

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,... read more

And this spake he not of himself ,.... Not of his own devising and dictating, but by the Spirit of God; as a wicked man sometimes may, and as Balaam did; the Spirit of God dictated the words unto him, and put them into his mouth; nor did he use them in the sense, in which the Holy Ghost designed them: but being high priest that year ; by his office he was the oracle of God, and was so esteemed by the people, and therefore a proper person to be made use of in this way; and especially... read more

And not for that nation only ,.... For though Christ, as prophet, was sent to the Jews only, and was the minister of the circumcision, yet as a priest he did not die for them only, but for the Gentiles also; even for the whole mystical Israel of God all the world over, whether among Jews or Gentiles; see 1 John 2:2 . But that also he should gather together in one, the children of God that were scattered abroad ; by which may be meant, not only the elect of God among the Jews, who were... read more

Then from that day forth ,.... Caiaphas's reasoning appeared so good, and his advice so agreeable, that it was at once, and generally assented to, except by one or two, as Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea; that ever after this, they took counsel together ; at certain times, and that very often, and agreed in their counsel, for to put him to death ; this they resolved upon, before there was any legal process, before any crime was charged upon him, or any proof given, or he was heard... read more

Jesus therefore ,.... Knowing the resolution the sanhedrim had taken to put him to death, and the schemes they were forming to apprehend him: walked no more openly among the Jews ; at, or near Jerusalem; he did not teach in their streets, nor work miracles, nor appear in public company: but went thence , from Bethany: unto a country near to the wilderness : whether this was the wilderness of Judea, where John came preaching, and near to which our Lord was before he came to... read more

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand ,.... Which was the fourth passover from Christ's entrance on his public ministry, and the last he ate with his disciples; when he, by being sacrificed for his people, put an end to that, and all other ceremonial observances: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem, before the passover : not only from the country where Ephraim was, but from all other countries in Judea and Galilee: all the males were obliged to go up to Jerusalem, at the... read more

Then sought they for Jesus ,.... That is, the country people; some on one account, and some on another; some out of curiosity to see his person, others to see his miracles, and others to hear his doctrine; and some, it may be, to take him, and deliver him up to the sanhedrim, who had issued out a proclamation to that purpose, and doubtless offered a reward: and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple ; whither they came to purify themselves, according to the law of the... read more
