John 11:47-50 ▼

47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together [the] Sanhedrin and said, “What may we do? Because this Man does many signs?

48 If we may leave Him alone thus, all will believe in Him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.”

49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, “You have not known anything,

50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.”
