John 11:45-48

45Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he did believed in him.

46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and were saying, “What are we going to do since this man is doing many signs?

48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
