Yochanan 11:40-54 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

40. He says to her, Did I not tell you that if you have emunah (faith), you will see the kavod Hashem?

41. Therefore, they lifted the stone and he lifted up his eyes and said, Avi, I thank You that You heard me.

42. And I knew that You always hear me, but, because of the multitude standing around, I said it, that they may have emunah (faith) that You sent me.

43. And having said these things, he cried out with a kol gadol, El'azar, come forth!

44. Then the niftar, having been bound feet and hands with the linen clothes of the tachrichin, and with his face covered with a mitznefet (head wrapping), came out. He says to them, Untie him and let him go.

45. Therefore, many of those of Yehudah, the ones having come to Miryam and having seen the things which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did, put their emunah in him. [SHEMOT 14:31]

46. But some of them went away to the Perushim and reported to them everything Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did.

47. Therefore, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim called a meeting of the Sanhedrin and were saying, What are we doing, for this man is performing many otot (miraculous signs)?

48. If we leave him thus, kol Bnei Adam will have emunah (faith) in him, and the Romans will come and will take away from us both the Beis Hamikdash and the nation.

49. But a certain one of them, Caiapha, being Kohen Gadol that year, said to them, You do not have da'as of anything

50. Nor do you consider that it is a bedievedike (expedient) thing for you that one man should die on behalf of HaAm and not that all the nation should perish. [YONAH 1:12 15; YESHAYAH 53:8]

51. But this he did not utter from himself, but, being Kohen Gadol that year, he uttered a dvar hanevu'ah that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was about to die on behalf of the nation [Ex 28:30; Num 27:21; Isa 53:8]

52. And not on behalf of Am Yisroel only but also the yeladim of Hashem, the ones having been scattered, that he may gather into echad. [YESHAYAH 49:6]

53. From that Yom on, therefore, they planned that they might put him to death.

54. Therefore he no longer was walking openly among those of Yehudah, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a shtetl called Efrayim, and there Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remained with the talmidim. [SHMUEL BAIS 13:23]
