47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council. They asked, |What are we doing? This man is performing a lot of miracles.

48 If we let him continue what he's doing, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will take away our position and our nation.|

49 One of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, told them, |You people don't know anything.

50 You haven't even considered this: It is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.|
