John 12:9-11

Verse 9

Much people of the Jews - John, who was a Galilean, often gives the title of Jews to those who were inhabitants of Jerusalem. Verse 10

Consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death - As long as he lived they saw an incontestable proof of the Divine power of Christ; therefore they wished to put him to death, because many of the Jews, who came to see him through curiosity, became converts to Christ through his testimony. How blind were these men not to perceive that he who had raised him, after he had been dead four days, could raise him again though they had slain him a thousand times?
