47Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
48If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
