John 11:48-56

⁴⁸If we leave him thus, all men shall believe in him; and Romans shall come, and shall take our place, and our folk.

⁴⁹But one of them, Caiaphas by name, when he was bishop of that year, said to them, Ye know nothing,

⁵⁰nor think, that it speedeth to you, that one man die for the people, and that all the folk perish not.

⁵¹But he said not this thing of himself, but when he was bishop of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the folk,

⁵²and not only for the folk, but that he should gather into one the sons of God that were scattered.

⁵³Therefore from that day they thought for to slay him.

⁵⁴Therefore Jesus walked not then openly among the Jews; but he went into a country beside the desert, into a city, that is said Ephraim, and there he dwelled with his disciples.

⁵⁵And the pask of the Jews was nigh, and many of the country went up to Jerusalem before the pask, to hallow themselves.

⁵⁶Therefore they sought Jesus, and spake together, standing in the temple, What guess ye, for he cometh not to the feast day?
