John 11 : 46 - 57
Chapter 11
| 46 | But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
|
| 47 | Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
|
| 48 | If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."
|
| 49 | And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
|
| 50 | nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."
|
| 51 | Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
|
| 52 | and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
|
| 53 | Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.
|
| 54 | Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.
|
| 55 | And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
|
| 56 | Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"
|
| 57 | Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.
