John 11:48-50

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

49And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

50nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.”
