The Plot to Kill Jesus - {Interlinear <Greek>}

11:45 - Many {Πολλοὶ<polys>} of {ἐκ<ek>} the {τῶν<ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαίων <Ioudaios>} therefore, {οὖν<oun>} who {οἱ<ho>} had → come {ἐλθόντες <erchomai>} with {πρὸς<pros>} Mary {τὴν Μαριὰμ<ho Mariam>} and {καὶ<kai>} had → seen {θεασάμενοι<theaomai>} what {ἃ<hos>} he → did, {ἐποίησεν,<poieō>} believed {ἐπίστευσαν<pisteuō>} in {εἰς<eis>} him, {αὐτόν.<autos>}

11:46 - but {δὲ<de>} some {τινὲς<tis>} of {ἐξ<ek>} them {αὐτῶν<autos>} went {ἀπῆλθον <aperchomai>} to {πρὸς<pros>} the {τοὺς<ho>} Pharisees {Φαρισαίους <Pharisaios>} and {καὶ<kai>} told {εἶπον<legō>} them {αὐτοῖς<autos>} what {ἃ<hos>} Jesus {ὁ Ἰησοῦς.<ho Iēsous>} had → done. {ἐποίησεν<poieō>}

11:47 - So {οὖν<oun>} the {οἱ<ho>} chief priests {ἀρχιερεῖς<archiereus>} and {καὶ <kai>} the {οἱ<ho>} Pharisees {Φαρισαῖοι<Pharisaios>} gathered {Συνήγαγον <synagō>} the → council {συνέδριον<synedrion>} and {καὶ<kai>} said, {ἔλεγον· <legō>} “What {τί <tis>} are → we → to → do? {ποιοῦμεν,<poieō>} For {ὅτι<hoti>} this {οὗτος<houtos>} man {ὁ ἄνθρωπος<ho anthrōpos>} performs {ποιεῖ<poieō>} many {πολλὰ<polys>} signs. {σημεῖα;<sēmeion>}

11:48 - If {ἐὰν<ean>} we let → him {αὐτὸν<autos>} go on {ἀφῶμεν<aphiēmi>} like this, {οὕτως,<houtōs>} everyone {πάντες<pas>} will → believe {πιστεύσουσιν <pisteuō>} in {εἰς <eis>} him, {αὐτόν,<autos>} and {καὶ<kai>} the {οἱ<ho>} Romans {Ῥωμαῖοι <Rhōmaios>} will → come {ἐλεύσονται<erchomai>} and {καὶ<kai>} take away {ἀροῦσιν<airō>} both {καὶ <kai>} our {ἡμῶν<egō>} place {τὸν τόπον<ho topos>} and {καὶ<kai>} our • nation.” {τὸ ἔθνος.<ho ethnos>}

11:49 - But {δέ<de>} one {Εἷς τις<heis tis>} of {ἐξ<ek>} them, {αὐτῶν <autos>} Caiaphas, {Καϊάφας,<Kaiaphas>} who • was {ὢν<eimi>} high priest {ἀρχιερεὺς <archiereus>} that {ἐκείνου,<ekeinos>} year, {τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ<ho eniautos>} said {εἶπεν <legō>} to → them, {αὐτοῖς·<autos>} “You {ὑμεῖς<sy>} know {οἴδατε<oida>} nothing at all. {οὐκ οὐδέν,<ou oudeis>}

11:50 - Nor {οὐδὲ<oude>} do → you → understand {λογίζεσθε<logizomai>} that {ὅτι<hoti>} it → is → better {συμφέρει<sympherō>} for → you {ὑμῖν<sy>} that {ἵνα <hina>} one {εἷς<heis>} man {ἄνθρωπος<anthrōpos>} should → die {ἀποθάνῃ <apothnēskō>} for {ὑπὲρ <hyper>} the {τοῦ<ho>} people, {λαοῦ,<laos>} • {καὶ<kai>} not {μὴ<mē>} that • the {τὸ <ho>} whole {ὅλον<holos>} nation {ἔθνος<ethnos>} should → perish.” {ἀπόληται.<apollymi>}

11:51 - He → did → • {δὲ<de>} not {οὐκ<ou>} say {εἶπεν,<legō>} this {τοῦτο <houtos>} of → his {ἑαυτοῦ<heautou>} own ← accord, {ἀφ᾽<apo>} but {ἀλλὰ<alla>} being {ὢν <eimi>} high priest {ἀρχιερεὺς<archiereus>} that {ἐκείνου<ekeinos>} year {τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ<ho eniautos>} he → prophesied {ἐπροφήτευσεν<prophēteuō>} that {ὅτι<hoti>} Jesus {Ἰησοῦς <Iēsous>} would {ἤμελλεν<mellō>} die {ἀποθνήσκειν <apothnēskō>} for {ὑπὲρ<hyper>} the {τοῦ<ho>} nation, {ἔθνους,<ethnos>}

11:52 - and {καὶ<kai>} not {οὐχ<ou>} for {ὑπὲρ<hyper>} the {τοῦ<ho>} nation {ἔθνους <ethnos>} only, {μόνον<monos>} but {ἀλλ᾽<alla>} also {καὶ<kai>} to {ἵνα <hina>} gather {συναγάγῃ<synagō>} into {εἰς<eis>} one {ἕν.<heis>} the {τὰ<ho>} children {τέκνα <teknon>} of → God {τοῦ θεοῦ<ho theos>} who {τὰ <ho>} are scattered abroad. {διεσκορπισμένα<diaskorpizō>}

11:53 - So {οὖν<oun>} from → that {ἐκείνης<ekeinos>} day {τῆς ἡμέρας<ho hēmera>} on {Ἀπ᾽<apo>} they → made → plans {ἐβουλεύσαντο<bouleuomai>} to {ἵνα <hina>} put → him {αὐτόν.<autos>} to → death. {ἀποκτείνωσιν<apokteinō>}

11:54 - Jesus {Ὁ Ἰησοῦς<ho Iēsous>} therefore {οὖν<oun>} no longer {οὐκέτι <ouketi>} walked {περιεπάτει<peripateō>} openly {παρρησίᾳ<parrēsia>} among {ἐν<en>} the {τοῖς <ho>} Jews, {Ἰουδαίοις,<Ioudaios>} but {ἀλλὰ<alla>} went {ἀπῆλθεν <aperchomai>} from there {ἐκεῖθεν<ekeithen>} to {εἰς<eis>} the {τὴν<ho>} region {χώραν<chōra>} near {ἐγγὺς <engys>} the {τῆς<ho>} wilderness, {ἐρήμου <erēmos>} to {εἰς<eis>} a → town {πόλιν, <polis>} called {λεγομένην<legō>} Ephraim, {Ἐφραῒμ<Ephraim>} and there {κἀκεῖ <kakei>} he → stayed {ἔμεινεν <menō>} with {μετὰ<meta>} the {τῶν<ho>} disciples. {μαθητῶν. <mathētēs>}

11:55 - Now {δὲ<de>} the {τὸ<ho>} Passover {πάσχα<pascha>} of → the {τῶν<ho>} Jews {Ἰουδαίων,<Ioudaios>} was {Ἦν<eimi>} at hand, {ἐγγὺς<engys>} and {καὶ <kai>} many {πολλοὶ<polys>} went up {ἀνέβησαν<anabainō>} from {ἐκ<ek> the {τῆς<ho>} country {χώρας<chōra>} to {εἰς<eis>} Jerusalem {Ἱεροσόλυμα <Hierosolyma>} before {πρὸ <pro>} the {τοῦ<ho>} Passover {πάσχα <pascha>} to {ἵνα<hina>} purify {ἁγνίσωσιν <hagnizō>} themselves. {ἑαυτούς.<heautou>}

11:56 - They were looking for {ἐζήτουν<zēteō>} • {οὖν<oun>} Jesus {τὸν Ἰησοῦν <ho Iēsous>} and {καὶ<kai>} saying {ἔλεγον<legō>} to {μετ᾽<meta>} one another {ἀλλήλων<allēlōn>} as → they → stood {ἑστηκότες·<histēmi>} in {ἐν<en>} the {τῷ <ho>} temple, {ἱερῷ<hieron>} “What {τί<tis>} do → you {ὑμῖν,<sy>} think? {δοκεῖ <dokeō>} That {ὅτι<hoti>} he → will → not → come {ἔλθῃ<erchomai>} to {εἰς<eis>} the {τὴν<ho>} feast {ἑορτήν;<heortē>} at all?” {οὐ μὴ<oumē>}

11:57 - Now {δὲ<de>} the {οἱ<ho>} chief priests {ἀρχιερεῖς<archiereus>} and {καὶ <kai>} the {οἱ<ho>} Pharisees {Φαρισαῖοι<Pharisaios>} had → given {δεδώκεισαν <didōmi>} orders {ἐντολὰς<entolē>} that {ἵνα<hina>} if {ἐάν<ean>} anyone {τις<tis>} knew {γνῷ<ginōskō>} where {ποῦ<pou> he → was, {ἐστιν<eimi>} he should let {μηνύσῃ,<mēnyō>} them • know, ← so that {ὅπως<hopōs>} they → might → arrest {πιάσωσιν<piazō>} him. {αὐτόν.<autos>}

John 11:45–57

Here is another example of the use of irony in John’s Gospel (cf. note on 9:13–34). Caiaphas, the high priest, unwittingly prophesied that Jesus’ death would be a vicarious, substitutionary atonement. The God of all grace is sovereignly at work, at all times and in all places. He sits in heaven and laughs derisively at those who plot and scheme against his saving purposes in his Son (Ps. 2:2–4).
