Many of the Jews who had come to Mary
and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said,
“What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation.” But one of them, Caiaphas,
who was high priest that year, said to them,
“You know nothing, nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish.”
He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God.

So from that day on they planned to kill him. So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”
Ang Banta na Papatayin si Jesus
John 11:45-56
Marami nga sa mga Judio na pumunta kay Maria ang nakakita sa mga bagay na ginawa ni Jesus. Dahil dito, sila ay sumampalataya sa kaniya. Ang ilan sa kanila ay pumunta sa mga Fariseo. Sinabi nila sa kanila ang mga bagay na ginawa ni Jesus. Ang mga pinunong-saserdote nga at mga Fariseo ay nagtipon ng isang sanggunian.Sinabi nila: Ano ang ating ginagawa? Ang taong ito ay gumagawa ng maraming tanda. Kapag pabayaan lang natin siya, ang lahat ng tao ay sasampalataya sa kaniya. Kung magkagayon, ang mga taga-Roma ay darating at aagawin maging ang ating pook at bansa.
Ang isa sa kanila ay si Caifas, ang pinunong-saserdote nang taong iyon. Bilang pinunong-saserdote ay sinabi niya sa kanila: Wala talaga kayong alam. Hindi ninyo pinag-isipan na makakabuti sa atin na mamatay ang isa para sa mga tao. Kung magkagayon, ang buong bansa ay hindi malilipol.
Hindi niya ito sinabi nang sarili niya. Bilang pinunong-saserdote nang taong iyon, inihayag niyang si Jesus ay mamamatay na para sa bansang iyon. Hindi lamang para sa bansang iyon kundi para rin sa mga anak ng Diyos na nangalat. Ito ay upang sila ay tipunin at pag-isahin. Mula nga sa araw na iyon sila ay sumangguni sa isa't isa na siya ay patayin.
Si Jesus nga ay hindi na lumakad ng hayag sa gitna ng mga Judio. Siya ay nagtungo sa isang lalawigang malapit sa ilang, sa lungsod na tinatawag na Efraim. Nanatili siya roon kasama ang kaniyang mga alagad.
Malapit na ang Paglagpas ng mga Judio. Bago ang Paglagpas, marami ang umahon sa Jerusalem mula sa lalawigan. Ang dahilan ay upang dalisayin ang kanilang mga sarili. Hinanap nga nila si Jesus. Sila ay nag-usap-usap sa kanilang mga sarili habang nakatayo sa templo. Sabi nila: Ano sa palagay ninyo ang dahilan na hindi siya pumunta sa kapistahan?

The Pharisees and the scribes were always tailing Jesus. They were keenly observing His every move slowly they observed that Jesus’ popularity was growing by the day and slowly also they felt threatened by His popularity with the masses.
They were greedy with the power that they had; so they laid a carefully planned plot to kill Him no matter what. Their evil scheming eventually led to Jesus’ death on the cross.
Greed in any form is a very dangerous emotion that we must avoid for this will push us to commit sin. We must not allow it to control us we must rather control it then eventually do away with it for it will not do us any good.
There are greedy people in the Philippines that is why until now we are still a third rate country. These greedy bunch have this insiatable lust for power and wealth that they cling to it no matter what it takes.
I hope that you're not one of these greedy bunch.
Let us all pray for the greedy that they will soon be enlightened by the light of Jesus.
