John 11:50

"Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people."

"And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:"

"And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar."

"And not rather, as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just."

"If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation."
