John 11:46-50

NSB(i) 46 Some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done. 47 The chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council. They asked what they should do. »This man does many signs and miracles. 48 »If we let him alone all men will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.« 49 Caiaphas the high priest that year said to them: »You know nothing at all. 50 »You do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people. That way the whole nation will not perish.«
