John 11:49 CPDV

⁴⁷  And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: 'What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.

⁴⁸  If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.'

⁴⁹  Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: 'You do not understand anything.

⁵⁰  Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.'

⁵¹  Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation.
