OET (OET-LV) Nor you_all_are_counting that it_is_benefitting for_you_all that one man may_die_off for the people, and not all the nation may_perish.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t you all realise that its better for all of us if one man dies so that the people and the nation won’t be destroyed?”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:45–57: The Jewish leaders plotted to kill Jesus

This section tells that many Jews who saw Jesus raise Lazarus believed in him. But others reported him to the Pharisees. The council met to discuss what to do with Jesus. They were afraid that if everyone believed in Jesus, the Roman government would destroy the Jewish temple and nation. The high priest Caiaphas said that it was better for Jesus to die than the whole nation be destroyed. That was true, but not in the way that Caiaphas meant. Jesus’ death would bring salvation to all people.

Jesus no longer walked around in public and stayed in Ephraim. When people went to Jerusalem for the Passover feast, they looked for Jesus, thinking that he would not go there. That was because the chief priests and Pharisees had ordered people to tell them if they knew where Jesus was. Then they could arrest him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Jewish council decided to kill Jesus

The plot to kill Jesus

Paragraph 11:49–52

A Pharisee named Caiaphas spoke up in the council meeting. He said that Jesus should die for the nation.

11:50a

You do not realize that

You do not realize that: The words You do not realize introduce something that Caiaphas thought that the council members should know but did not. For example:

You haven’t even considered this: (GW)

You fail to see that (NJB)

11:50b

it is better for you that one man die for the people

it is better for you: This clause introduces something that Caiaphas thought would benefit the Jewish council. Here is another way to translate this clause:

it is to your advantage (NJB)

that one man die for the people: This expression indicates that Caiaphas thought that Jesus should be killed in order to save the people of Israel. He implied that if Jesus died, the people of Israel would not die. The Romans would not come and destroy the nation. Here are other ways to translate this expression:

that this one man should die for the benefit of ⌊our(incl)⌋ people

that one man should be put to death to save the people

11:50c

than that the whole nation perish.”

than that the whole nation perish: This expression indicates the bad thing that Caiaphas thought would happen if Jesus did not die. That bad thing was that the nation of Israel would be destroyed. Caiaphas expected that the Romans would destroy the whole nation, that is, its leadership, rights, institutions, and independence. The nation of Israel would cease to exist as a nation. Here are other ways to translate this expression:

rather than causing the destruction of the whole nation

so that the whole country will not be destroyed

instead of having the whole nation destroyed (GNT)

General Comment on 11:50b–c

11:50b–c compares two possibilities. Consider how it is most natural in your language to make such a comparison. For example:

it is better for you to have one man die for the people, instead of having the whole nation destroyed (GNT)

it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish (ESV)

It is good for you that this one man should die for the people. It is not good that the whole nation should perish/die.

General Comment on 11:50a–c

Verse 11:50 is a strong statement. In some languages it may be natural to express this as a rhetorical question. For example:

Don’t you realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people, instead of having the whole nation destroyed? (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐδέ λογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα εἱς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπέρ τοῦ λαοῦ καί μή ὅλον τό ἔθνος ἀπόληται)

Caiaphas implies that the Roman army would kill all of the people of the Jewish nation if Jesus is allowed to live and cause a rebellion. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [and the Romans would not kill all the people of our nation]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὐδέ λογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα εἱς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπέρ τοῦ λαοῦ καί μή ὅλον τό ἔθνος ἀπόληται)

Here, nation refers to all of the Jewish people. See how you translated this word in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [and all the people of our nation would not perish]
