kjv John:11:45-57
kjv@John:11:45 @ Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
kjv@John:11:46 @ But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
kjv@John:11:47 @ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
kjv@John:11:48 @ If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
kjv@John:11:49 @ And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
kjv@John:11:50 @ Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
kjv@John:11:51 @ And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
kjv@John:11:52 @ And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
kjv@John:11:53 @ Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
kjv@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
kjv@John:11:55 @ And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
kjv@John:11:56 @ Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
kjv@John:11:57 @ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
