John 11:52 Context
50Nor consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51And this spake he not of himselfe: but being high Priest that yeere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation: 52And not for that nation only, but that also hee should gather together in one, the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53Then from that day foorth, they tooke counsell together for to put him to death. 54Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes: but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernesse, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
