Evangélium szent János Apostol kőnyvéből
!Jn 11:47-54
Azon időben a főpapok és a farizeusok összehívták a főtanácsot, és megkérdezték: „Mit tegyünk? Ez az ember nagyon sok csodát tesz. Ha tovább tűrjük, mindnyájan hinni fognak benne, aztán jönnek a rómaiak, és elpusztítják szentélyünket is, népünket is.” És így tovább.

Homily by St Austin, Bishop (of Hippo.)
!49th Tract on John.
The chief Priests and the Pharisees took counsel together, but Let us believe in Him was not one of the suggestions offered. Those lost creatures thought much more how they might hurt and undo Him, than how they might save themselves from perishing. And yet they were afraid, and took counsel together, and said What do we? For this Man doeth many miracles. If we let Him thus alone, all men will believe on Him; and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and our nation. They were afraid of losing temporal things, but they gave no thought to eternal life, and so they lost both. 2
