A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
reasoned among themselves--(Compare Gen 37:18-20; Joh 11:47-53).

the heir--sublime expression of the great truth, that God's inheritance was destined for, and in due time to come into the possession of, His Son in our nature (Heb 1:2).

inheritance . . . ours--and so from mere servants we may become lords; the deep aim of the depraved heart, and literally "the root of all evil."

2 Hath [2980] in [1909] these [5130] last [2078] days [2250] spoken [2980] unto us [2254] by [1722] his Son [5207], whom [3739] he hath appointed [5087] heir [2818] of all things [3956], by [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] he made [4160] the worlds [165];
47 Then [3767] gathered [4863] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] a council [4892], and [2532] said [3004], What [5101] do we [4160]? for [3754] this [3778] man [444] doeth [4160] many [4183] miracles [4592].
48 If [1437] we let [863] him [846] thus [3779] alone [863], all [3956] men will believe [4100] on [1519] him [846]: and [2532] the Romans [4514] shall come [2064] and [2532] take away [142] both [2532] our [2257] place [5117] and [2532] nation [1484].
49 And [1161] one [1520] [5100] of [1537] them [846], named Caiaphas [2533], being [5607] the high priest [749] that same [1565] year [1763], said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] know [1492] nothing at all [3756] [3762],
50 Nor [3761] consider [1260] that [3754] it is expedient [4851] for us [2254], that [2443] one [1520] man [444] should die [599] for [5228] the people [2992], and [2532] that the whole [3650] nation [1484] perish [622] not [3361].
51 And [1161] this [5124] spake he [2036] not [3756] of [575] himself [1438]: but [235] being [5607] high priest [749] that [1565] year [1763], he prophesied [4395] that [3754] Jesus [2424] should [3195] die [599] for that [5228] nation [1484];
52 And [2532] not [3756] for that [5228] nation [1484] only [3440], but [235] that [2443] also [2532] he should gather together [4863] in [1519] one [1520] the children [5043] of God [2316] that were scattered abroad [1287].
53 Then [3767] from [575] that [1565] day [2250] forth they took counsel together [4823] for to [2443] put [615] him [846] to death [615].
18 And when they saw [07200] him afar off [07350], even before he came near [07126] unto them, they conspired [05230] against him to slay [04191] him.
19 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], Behold, this [01976] dreamer [01167] [02472] cometh [0935].
20 Come [03212] now therefore, and let us slay [02026] him, and cast [07993] him into some [0259] pit [0953], and we will say [0559], Some evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him: and we shall see [07200] what will become of his dreams [02472].
