John 11:47-53

CLV(i) 47 The chief priests and the Pharisees, then, gathered a Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing, seeing that this man is doing many signs? 48 If we should be leaving him thus, all will be believing in him, and the Romans will come and take away our place as well as our nation." 49 Now a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being the chief priest of that year, said to them, "You are not aware of anything, 50 neither are you reckoning that it is expedient for us that one man should be dying for the sake of the people and not the whole nation should perish." 51 Now this he said, not from himself, but, being the chief priest of that year, he prophesies that Jesus was about to be dying for the sake of the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but that He may be gathering the scattered children of God also into one." 53 From that day, then, they consult that they should kill Him."
