Συνήγαγον οὖν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συνέδριον, καὶ ἔλεγον· Τί ποιοῦμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ ποιεῖ σημεῖα; ἐὰν ἀφῶμεν αὐτὸν οὕτως, πάντες πιστεύσωσιν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλεύσονται οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος..

(11) Ὡς πρὸς τὸ ῥητὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἑώρων ὅτι διὰ τὸ μέγεθος ὧν πεποιήκει τεραστίων δυνάμεων ὁ Ἰησοῦς δυνατὸν ἦν καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὑπαχθῆναι τῇ εἰς αὐτὸν πίστει καὶ ὑπαχθέντα καταφρονῆσαι τῆς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ σωματικῆς λευϊτικῆς καὶ ἱερατικῆς λατρείας, ὥστ’ ἂν πρόφασιν τὸ τοιοῦτον γενέσθαι τοῦ, ἅτε μὴ περιεπόντων τὸν τόπον Ἰουδαίων, Ῥωμαίοις ὑπὸ τοῦ σωτῆρος γενέσθαι καὶ τὸν νομιζόμενον παρ’ ἐκείνοις ἱερὸν τόπον καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἔθνος Ἰουδαίων, οὐκέτι παντὶ τρόπῳ τηρεῖν ἐθελόντων τὴν περὶ τοῦ Ἰουδαίους ἑαυτοὺς εἶναι ὁμολογίαν.
