"What are we
accomplishing? Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If
we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and
then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our
nation."
Caiaphas
the High Priest
"You know
nothing at all! You do not realize that it is better for you that
one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish."
Caiaphas
had prophecies that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation and for
the scattered children
of God...to bring them together and make them one.
From
that day on they plotted to kill Jesus!
What did the Sanhedrin
Admit?
They could not deny Jesus did miraculous signs.
Many believed in Jesus.
Jesus was a threat to their power and influence.
They were concerned with their status with Rome.
They were acting like Jesus
said they would!
"You
belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry
out your father's desire."
(John 8:44)
Jesus no longer
moved around publicly among the Jews.
The Jews gave orders that anyone who saw Jesus should tell them...so
they could arrested him.
