Bible: John 11:45-48

The Response of the Jewish Leaders

11:45 Then many of the people, 1  who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus 2  did, believed in him. 11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees 3  and reported to them 4  what Jesus had done. 11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees 5  called the council 6  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, 7  everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary 8  and our nation.”
