John 11:48-50
Lexham English Bible
48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place[a] and our[b] nation.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all! 50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.”
