John 11:51

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 11:51. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation:

He did not understand his own words. He was saying a great deal more than he meant to say - for it was expedient - blessedly expedient - that Jesus should die willingly and of his own accord, giving himself up to death for the sake of his people.
