Caiaphas

High priest Caiaphas said,
It is better that one man die,
That the nation perish not.

He meant that Jesus must die,
Lest the Romans invade and destroy.
He would lose power, and probably life.

Throughout the Gospels,
He opposes Jesus.
And yet.

As high priest, he prophecies truly.
It is better that Jesus die.

All children of God would then
Be gathered together in one.

How can a profane man speak such
Truth? His office bestows such grace?

There is, then, hope for me.
For you.
