Mace(i)
47 upon this the chief priests and the Pharisees being assembled in council, said, what shall we do? for this man performs many miracles.
48 if we let him go on at this rate, all will believe on him; and the Romans will come, and destroy both our temple and nation.
49 but one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest at that time, said to them, ye don't know what you are about.
50 you little consider it is our interest, that one man should die for the people, to prevent the destruction of the whole nation.
51 now this he did not say from his own motion: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation:
52 and not for that nation only, but likewise to reassemble the dispersed children of God into one body.
53 from that day therefore, they consulted together to put Jesus to death.
