|You don't realize that it is better for you that one man dies for the people so that the whole nation does not perish?

|A little textual side note: P45, P66, Vaticanus and Bezae Rescriptus say "better for YOU," while Alexandrinus and most of the Byzantine family say "better for US." Sinaiticus doesn't have a pronoun (it just says "it is better"). P75 is damaged in that spot. The only real difference is whether Caiaphas was including himself in the group, or speaking to the rest of them as separate from himself. Note that P45 (a papyrus I have not mentioned up to now), thought now to be a middle to late second century document, and is most notable as the oldest collection of Paul's letters, does contain a few pages of the gospels, although most of the gospel pages are missing.

|Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

|Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

|

|Therefore, Jesus no longer walked out publicly among the Jews, but left there and went to a city called Ephraim, in a region near the desert, and lived there with His disciples.

|And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

|And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

|

|Now the Jewish Passover was near, so many from the surrounding region went into Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

|Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

|Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

|

|Then they watched for Jesus and asked each other as they stood in the temple grounds, "What do you think? There is no way He will come to the festival, is there?"

|

|The second question is NOT actually a rhetorical question, but is a strong double negative. In a question, this expresses extreme uncertainty, kind of like, "there is no way he is dumb enough to actually show up, is there?" The questioner thinks there is no way Jesus will show (because if HE were Jesus, he would not show), but he's not completely sure what Jesus will actually do, and he's asking for verification of his position from those around him.

|Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

|Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

|

|Because both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
