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 11:53–54

This paragraph tells the Jewish leaders’ response to what Caiaphas said, and Jesus’ response to them.

11:53

So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.

¶ Therefore starting on that day they plotted to kill Jesus.
¶ Therefore after that meeting the council planned to punish Jesus with death.

So: The word So introduces the result of the council meeting. It also indicates a return to the main story. Some English translations, including GNT and NJB, do not translate this word. Indicate a result and a return to the main story in a way that is natural in your language.

from that day on: This phrase refers to the time that followed. In this context it means “after Caiaphas made that prophecy.” Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

from that time on (NLT)

That day they started… (NCV)

they plotted to kill Him: This clause indicates that the Jewish authorities made plans to persuade the government to kill Jesus. They did not plan to kill Jesus themselves. They wanted the Roman authorities to punish Jesus with death. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

they plotted his death (REB)

the Jewish leaders began to plot his Jesus’ death (NLT)

they started planning to persuade the Romans to punish Jesus with death

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπʼ ἐκείνης Οὖν τῆς ἡμέρας ἐβουλεύσαντο ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτόν)

John is telling his readers what the Jewish leaders did as a result of what Caiaphas said in [11:49–50](../11/49.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [Consequently]

ἐβουλεύσαντο

˱they˲_counselled

The word translated as plotted could mean: (1) the Jewish leaders made plans together for how to kill Jesus. Alternate translation: [they schemed]; (2) the Jewish leaders were determined to kill Jesus. Alternate translation: [they resolved]
