SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:14
Y era Caifs el que había dado el consejo a los judíos, que era necesario que un hombre muriese por el pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 18:14
Verse 14. Caiaphas was he which gave counsel, &c.] Therefore he was an improper person to sit in judgment on Christ, whom he had prejudged and precondemned: see on chap. xi. 50-52. But Christ must not be treated according to the rules of justice: if he had, he could not have been put to death.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Now Caiaphas was he which gave council to the Jews , etc.] The chief priests and Pharisees, who met in council about Jesus, ( John 11:47-52), the counsel he gave was, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people ; and which advice was given out of ill will and malice to Christ, and to prevent, as he thought, the people of the Jews being destroyed by the Romans; though the words have a very good sense which he did not understand. The people Christ was to die for, was not all the, people of the world, nor only the people of the Jews, nor all of them; but all the elect of God, whom God has chosen for his special and peculiar people, and has given to Christ as such: these Christ were to die for, and did, not merely as a martyr, to confirm his doctrine to them, or as an example to teach them meekness, patience, and courage, but in the room and stead of them, as a surety for them; and it was expedient that he should, in such sense, die for them, because of his suretyship engagements, that he might make satisfaction to the law and justice of God, and procure the salvation of his people, and send forth the Spirit to make application of it to them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-27 - Simon Peter denied his Master. The particulars have been noticed in the remarks on the other Gospels. The beginning of sin is as the lettin forth of water. The sin of lying is a fruitful sin; one lie need another to support it, and that another. If a call to expose ourselve to danger be clear, we may hope God will enable us to honour him; if it be not, we may fear that God will leave us to shame ourselves. The said nothing concerning the miracles of Jesus, by which he had done s much good, and which proved his doctrine. Thus the enemies of Christ whilst they quarrel with his truth, wilfully shut their eyes agains it. He appeals to those who heard him. The doctrine of Christ ma safely appeal to all that know it, and those who judge in truth bea witness to it. Our resentment of injuries must never be passionate. He reasoned with the man that did him the injury, and so may we.
