John 11:46-48

Living Bible

⁴⁶ But some went away to the Pharisees and reported it to them.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened a council to discuss the situation.

“What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “For this man certainly does miracles. ⁴⁸ If we let him alone the whole nation will follow him—and then the Roman army will come and kill us and take over the Jewish government.”
