☆ Gospel: John 11:45-56
45
Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.
46
But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.
47
Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.
48
If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.
49
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;
50
You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.
51
He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;
52
And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.
53
And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.
54
So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.
55
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.
56
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

☆ Ezekiel 37:21-28
21
And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land:
22
And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:
23
And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
24
And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
25
And they will be living in the land which I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which your fathers were living; and they will go on living there, they and their children and their children's children, for ever: and David, my servant, will be their ruler for ever.
26
And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.
27
And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.
28
And the nations will be certain that I who make Israel holy am the Lord, when my holy place is among them for ever.
