John 11:47-53
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.“ What can we do?” they asked.“ This man is performing many signs.If we let him keep on doing this, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come. They will take away our temple and our nation.”One of the Jewish leaders spoke up. His name was Caiaphas. He was high priest at that time. He said,“ You don’t know anything at all!You don’t realize what is good for you. It is better if one man dies for the people than if the whole nation is destroyed.”He did not say this on his own because he was high priest at that time. He prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation.He also prophesied that Jesus would die for God’s children scattered everywhere. He would die to bring them together and make them one.So from that day on, the Jewish rulers planned to kill Jesus.
