44. And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, "Release him and let him go."

46. But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47. And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: "What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.
48. If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation."
