John 11:47-50

MLV(i) 47 Therefore, the high-priests and the Pharisees gathered together a council and were saying, What are we doing because this man is doing many signs? 48 If we allow him to continue so; all will believe in him. And the Romans will be coming and taking away both our place and the nation.
49 But a certain one out of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said to them, You know nothing, 50 nor are you reasoning that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people and that the whole nation should not perish.
