You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish."

(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)

and said to them, "Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary and our nation."

From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!"

And why not say, "Let us do evil so that good may come of it"? -- as some who slander us allege that we say. (Their condemnation is deserved!)
