Exegesis
`hyper tou laou {ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ | hypér tou laoû}` gives the death a representative, on-behalf-of force, so the verse sets one man against the people and frames the death as substitutionary benefit.
In context — John 18:14
Now Caiaphas was the one who had given counsel to the Jews that one man dying would be to the advantage of the people.
