|
| 45 | Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him; | The Plot to Kill Jesus Jn.11.45-53 (Jerusalem) | Mt.26.1-5 | Mk.14.1-2 | Lk.22.1-2 |
| 46 | but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. | |
| 47 | So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. | |
| 48 | If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation." | |
| 49 | But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all; | |
| 50 | you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish." | |
| 51 | He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, | |
| 52 | and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. | |
| 53 | So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death. | |
