John 11:48-56

⁴⁸If we leave him thus, all men shall believe in him; and (then the) Romans shall come, and shall take (away) our place, and our folk. (If we leave him alone, everyone shall believe in him; and then the Romans shall come, and shall destroy our Temple, and our nation.)

⁴⁹But one of them, Caiaphas by name, when he was bishop of that year (or who was the High Priest that year), said to them, Ye know nothing,

⁵⁰nor think, that it speedeth to you, that one man die for the people, and that all the folk perish not. (nor understand, that it is more expedient for you, that one man should die for the people, so that the whole nation shall not perish.)

⁵¹But he said not this thing of himself, but when he was bishop of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the folk, (But he did not say this of his own accord, but as he was the High Priest that year, he had prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the nation,)

⁵²and not only for the folk (or and not only die for the nation), but that he should gather into one the sons of God that were scattered.

⁵³Therefore from that day (forth) they thought, (or sought), (or made plans) for (how) to slay him.

⁵⁴Therefore Jesus walked not then openly among the Jews; but he went into a country(side) beside the desert (or but he went into the countryside near the desert), into a city, that is said Ephraim, and there he dwelled with his disciples.

⁵⁵And the pask of the Jews was nigh, and many of the country went up to Jerusalem before the pask, to hallow themselves. (And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many from the countryside, or and many from all over the country, went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to sanctify or to purify themselves.)

⁵⁶Therefore they sought Jesus, and spake together, standing in the temple, What guess ye, for he cometh not to the feast day?
