1150618 Lazarus resurrection reported to Chief Priests and Pharisees – John 11:46-54, A.D. 29 Jerusalem
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. Therefore, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs. If we leave him alone like this, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.” Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. So from that day they took counsel that they might put him to death. And Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. And he stayed there with his disciples.
