John 11:47-53

LITV(i) 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled a sanhedrin, and said, What are we doing, for this man does many miracles? 48 If we let him alone this way, all will believe into him, and the Romans will come and will take away from us both the place and the nation. 49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas being high priest of that year, said to them, You know nothing, 50 nor consider that it is profitable for us that one man die for the people, and not all the nation to perish. 51 But he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation, 52 and not only on behalf of the nation, but that He also might gather into one the children of God who had been scattered. 53 Then from that day, they took counsel that they might kill Him.
