11:45 Then many of the people, 1 who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus 2 did, believed in him. 11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees 3 and reported to them 4 what Jesus had done. 11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees 5 called the council 6 together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs. 11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, 7 everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary 8 and our nation.”
11:49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, 9 “You know nothing at all! 11:50 You do not realize 10 that it is more to your advantage to have one man 11 die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.” 12
