John 11:45-48

45Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.

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

47Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs.

48If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.”
