John 11:47-53

Coverdale(i) 47 Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens. 48 Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people. 49 But one of them, named Caiphas, which was hye prest that same yeare, sayde vnto them: Ye knowe nothinge nether considre ye eny thinge at all. 50 It is better for us that one ma dye for the people, then that all the people shulde perishe. 51 This spake he not of himself, but for so moch as he was hye prest of the same yeare, he prophecied. For Iesus was for to dye for the people, 52 and not for the people onely, but that he shulde gather together the children of God, which were scatered abrode: 53 From that daye forth they toke coucell, how they might put him to death.
