John 11:50-52

⁵⁰You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

⁵¹Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵²and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
