[48] If him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both place and nation. [49] And one of them, named Caiaphas, the high priest that same year, said unto them, know nothing at all, [50] Nor that it is expedient that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. [51] And spake he not of himself: but high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; [52] And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. [53] Then from that day for to him to death. [54] Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there with disciples. [55] And the Jews' passover nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. [56] Then sought they for Jesus, and among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think that come to the feast? [57] Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he should shew it, that they might take him.
