John 11 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1 had already been in the tomb four days.

18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,

19 he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

26 and our nation.”

49Mt 26.3. But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all;

50you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish.”

51He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

52Jn 10.16; 17.21. and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

53So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death.

54Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

55 Mt 26.1; Mk 14.1; Lk 22.1; Jn 13.1. Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

56Jn 7.11. They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”

57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
