John 11:52

But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who would belong to God, in order that he would unite all of them into one group.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

53So from that day the Jewish leaders started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
