John 11:50-52

New Catholic Bible

⁵⁰ You do not seem to realize that it is better for us that one man die for the people rather than the whole nation be destroyed.”

⁵¹ He did not say this on his own, but as the high priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus was to die for the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation alone, but to gather into one the dispersed children of God.
