John 11:48-50

Young's Literal Translation

⁴⁸ if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

⁴⁹ and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰ nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
