And here is the primary difference between the religious worldview and the gospel. Caiaphas aims to preserve a people from impurity, the gospel is the scheme to expand God’s friendship to everyone.
Religion = kill anything that makes us impure
Gospel = die to purify everyone
Scattered children
This is put explicitly in Ephesians chapter 2. Judaism was never for the Jews and neither was Christianity. All the plan was for all the people scattered by the Fall to come together with God the Father as one nation and kingdom.
