Exegesis
The final clause, kaí aroûsin hēmōn kaí tón tópon kaí tò éthnos {καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος | kaí aroûsin hēmōn kaí tón tópon kaí tò éthnos}, uses the future aroûsin ‘they will take away’ with the genitive hēmōn ‘of us’ expressing loss, and a double accusative ‘place and nation’ joined by kai…kai to stress total removal. This structure preserves the leaders’ fear that widespread belief in Jesus will trigger Roman intervention and result in the loss of their religious center and national identity.
In context — John 11:48
If we let Him continue like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.
