Listen to Jean 11:48
48 Si nous le laissons faire, tout le monde croira en lui; et les Romains viendront, et ils détruiront et ce lieu et notre nation.

Jean 11:48 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:48

If we let him thus alone
Going about from place to place, teaching the people, and doing such miracles:

all men will believe on him;
the whole nation will receive him as the Messiah, and proclaim him their king, and yield a cheerful obedience to all his commands:

the Romans will come;
against us, with their powerful armies; interpreting the setting him up as Messiah, to be an instance of rebellion against Caesar, and his government:

and take away both our place and nation;
that is, will destroy the temple, their holy place, the place of their religion and worship; and their city, the place of their habitation, and lay waste their country; and take away from them that little share of power and government they had, and strip them both of their civil and religious privileges: the Persic version renders it, "they will take away our place, and make a decree against our religion".

Jean 11:48 In-Context

46 Mais quelques-uns d'entre eux s'en allèrent vers les pharisiens, et leur rapportèrent ce que Jésus avait fait.
47 Alors les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens assemblèrent le sanhédrin, et dirent: Que ferons-nous? car cet homme fait beaucoup de miracles.
48 Si nous le laissons faire, tout le monde croira en lui; et les Romains viendront, et ils détruiront et ce lieu et notre nation.
49 Mais Caïphe, l'un d'entre eux, qui était souverain sacrificateur de cette année-là, leur dit: Vous n'y entendez rien;
50 Et vous ne considérez pas qu'il nous importe qu'un seul homme meure pour le peuple, et que toute la nation ne périsse pas.
