John 11:47-48. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, 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 nation.
They pretended that if Jesus Christ gathered to himself a great party, the Romans would take umbrage at it - pounce upon the whole nation and destroy it, for fear of its revolting from under their sway. A gross falsehood throughout.
