This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Not for that nation only; not for the Jews only. The words used in Caiaphas’s speech were laov and eynov, words not significant of the Jews only, but of other people also: for Christ was to gather into one body all the elect of God, who are here called
the children of God, because they were to be so after their being begotten by the immortal seed of the word, and born again of water and the Spirit), those that at present were
scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth: Christ was to gather together in one all things in heaven and earth, Eph_1:10. The evangelist extendeth the sense of Caiaphas’s prophecy to Gentiles as well as Jews, according to the extent of the death of Christ, declared 1Jo_2:2.
