John 11:47-52
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
47Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council meeting, and they were saying, 'What are we doing in regard to the fact that this man is performing many signs? 48If we let Him go on like this, all the people will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take over both our place and our nation.' 49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, 'You know nothing at all, 50nor are you taking into account that it is in your best interest that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish instead.' 51Now he did not say this on his own, but as he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation; 52and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.King James Version
Chapter 11
47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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."
49One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all!
50You’re not considering that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
51He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children of God.

For this man performs 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." 49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all. 50Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish." 51He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.New International Version

47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked.

Chapter 11
47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 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.”
51Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
