John 11:47-50

JuliaSmith(i) 47 Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. 48 If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. 49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, 50 Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not.
