Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time, said…
“You don’t realize that it’s better for you
that one man should die for the people
than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”
He did not say this on his own;
as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy
that Jesus would die for the entire nation.
And not only for that nation,
but to bring together and unite all the children of God
scattered around the world.
