11:45 Then many of the people, ⁸  who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus ⁹  did, believed in him. 11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees ¹⁰  and reported to them ¹¹  what Jesus had done. 11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees ¹²  called the council ¹³  together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs. 11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, ¹⁴  everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary ¹⁵  and our nation.”

11:49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, ¹⁶  “You know nothing at all! 11:50 You do not realize ¹⁷  that it is more to your advantage to have one man ¹⁸  die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.” ¹⁹  11:51 (Now he did not say this on his own, ²⁰  but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation, ²¹  11:52 and not for the Jewish nation ²²  only, ²³  but to gather together ²⁴  into one the children of God who are scattered.) ²⁵  11:53 So from that day they planned together to kill him.
