My Note: Gather the real Israelites together Ref. Scripture John 11:52
The Pharisees were afraid that Jesus would gather together the real Israelites that were scattered abroad in addition to the Jews.
Scripture: John 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Complete text: John 11:45 Then
many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus
did, believed on him.
46 But some of them went their ways to
the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and
the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many
miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will
believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place
and nation.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being
the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for
us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish
not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but
being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that
nation;
52 And not for that nation only,but
that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were
scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put him to death.
54 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.
55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand:
and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to
purify themselves.
56 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?
57 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.
Not Jew's nation only but, all Israelites.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
