John:11:45-57
noyes@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him.
noyes@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
noyes@John:11:47 @ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs?
noyes@John:11:48 @ If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
noyes@John:11:49 @ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high–priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all;
noyes@John:11:50 @ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.
noyes@John:11:51 @ And this he spoke not from himself; but being high–priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
noyes@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad.
noyes@John:11:53 @ Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death.
noyes@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there abode with the disciples.
noyes@John:11:55 @ And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
noyes@John:11:56 @ They sought therefore for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? that he will not come to the feast?
noyes@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should give information, that they might seize him.
