John 11:46-48

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

47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.

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