At that time: Many of the Jews that were come to Mary & Martha, & had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. And certain of them went to the Pharisees, & told them the things that Jesus did. The chief Priests therefore & the Pharisees gathered a Council, & said: What do we, for this man doeth many signs. If we let him alone so, all will believe in him: & the Romans will come, & take away our place & nation. But one of them named Caiphas, being the high Priest of that year, said to them: You know nothing, neither do you consider: that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, & the whole nation perish not. And this he said not of himself: but being the high Priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. And not only for the nation, but to gather into one the children of God that were dispersed. From that day therefore they devised to kill him. Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but he went into the country beside the desert unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his Disciples. And the Pasch of the Jews was at hand: & many of the country went up to Jerusalem before the Pasch to sanctify themselves. They sought Jesus therefore; and they communed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you, in that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief Priests & Pharisees had given commandment, that if any man should know where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
