John 11:45-53

John 11:45-53 CSB

Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he did believed in him.  But some of them went to the Pharisees  and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin  and were saying, “What are we going to do since this man is doing many signs? If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans  will come and take away both our place and our nation.” One of them, Caiaphas,  who was high priest  that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all! You’re not considering that it is to your  advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.”  He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die  for the nation, and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children  of God. So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
