Inner Die for the People

John 18:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 18 in context

Scripture Focus

12Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John 18:12-14

Biblical Context

Jesus is bound and led away by the band and officers to the authorities. Caiaphas asserts that it is expedient that one man die for the people.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the band, captain, and officers are not men surrounding a person, but the inner band of thoughts that bind your awareness. When you feel bound, you are listening to the inner Annas and Caiaphas—the old beliefs of separation that say one life must die for the many. Yet the 'one man' who must die is not a person but a belief in a separate self; letting that belief die liberates the whole man, your entire consciousness. The counsel that it is expedient that one die for the people is the decisive moment when a limited self yields to unlimited awareness. The Jesus who is bound is not killed but released from bondage to fear, lack, and scarcity. As you dwell in that I AM, imagine the inner authorities bowing to your living, indivisible consciousness. The violence of the scene becomes a symbolic shedding of attachment, fear, and scarcity, allowing the entire being to be renewed in alignment with the truth that you are the singular life expressing as many forms. This is birth, not tragedy, as the old story perishes so the universal life may express through you now and here.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare I am the I AM; the old self dies to give life to the whole, and feel a warm release as the sense of separation dissolves. Maintain that felt sense for a minute and observe new possibilities arising.
