John 11:47-54

So 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? If 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.” One of them, Caiaphas,  who was high priest  that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all! You’re not considering that it is to your  advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.”  He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die  for the nation, and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children  of God. So from that day on they plotted to kill him.  Jesus therefore no longer walked openly  among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness,  to a town called Ephraim, and he stayed there with the disciples.
