Commentary on John 12:10

Theological / Devotional

But the chief priests. [The Betrayal Plot, John 12:10, 11=Matt. 26:1-5, 14-16=Mark 14:1, 2, 10, 11=Luke 22:1-6. Major comment: Matthew.] In connection with the plot to put Jesus to death the chief priests plotted also the death of Lazarus. They could bring no formal charge against Lazarus. However, because his life was a witness to the divinity of the One whom they had condemned to death and a denial of the doctrine that many of them held, namely, that there was no resurrection (see on ch. 11:47), they deemed it necessary to kill him also.
