Therefore the bishops and the Pharisees gathered a council against Jesus, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles [for this man doeth many signs, or miracles].
48
If we leave him thus, all men shall believe in him; and Romans shall come, and shall take our place and our folk [and Romans shall come, and take our place and folk].
49
But one of them, Caiaphas by name, when he was bishop of that year, said to them, Ye know nothing,
50
nor think, that it speedeth to you, that one man die for the people, and that all the folk perish not.
51
But [Forsooth] he said not this thing of himself, but when he was bishop of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the folk,
52
and not only for the folk, but that he should gather into one the sons of God that were scattered.
53
Therefore from that day they thought for to slay him.
54
Therefore Jesus walked not then openly among the Jews [Therefore Jesus walked not now openly at the Jews]; but he went into a country beside [the] desert, into a city, that is said Ephraim, and there he dwelled with his disciples [and there he dwelt with his disciples].
55
And the pask of the Jews was nigh, and many of the country went up to Jerusalem before the pask, to hallow themselves.
56
Therefore they sought Jesus, and spake together, standing in the temple, What guess ye, for he cometh not to the feast day?
57
For the bishops and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man know where he is, that he show [that if any man knew where he is, he show], that they take him.
