⁴⁵Then many of the Jews who had come with Mary and saw the things which he did believed in him. ⁴⁶But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. ⁴⁷So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs! ⁴⁸If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place^h and ourⁱ nation.”

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all! ⁵⁰Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.” ⁵¹(Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, ⁵²and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.) ⁵³So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
