John 11:47-50

Thomson(i) 47 Whereupon the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? Because this man doth many miracles, 48 if we let him go on thus, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both this place and this nation of ours. 49 And one of them, namely, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Are you totally ignorant, 50 and do you not consider that it is better for us that one man die for the people than that the whole nation should perish.
