Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
All Commentaries on John 11:50 Go To John 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
How great is the power of the Holy Spirit? From a wicked mind he brings forth the words of prophecy. And how great is the power attached to the pontifical dignity! For Caiphas having becoming high priest, though unworthy of that dignity, prophesies, not knowing indeed what he says. The Holy Spirit makes use of his tongue only, but touches not his sinful heart. (St. Chrysostom, hom. lxiv. in Joan.)
