John 12:11

God's Word

Lazarus was the reason why many people were leaving the Jews and believing in Jesus.

See the chapter Copy

Many Jews who had visited Mary and had seen what Jesus had done believed in him.

Because the crowd heard that Jesus had performed this miracle, they came to meet him.

When the Jews saw the crowds, they became very jealous. They used insulting language to contradict whatever Paul said.

If we let him continue what he’s doing, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will take away our position and our nation.”

However, many people in the crowd believed in him. They asked, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more miracles than this man has?”

I’ve known that you always hear me. However, I’ve said this so that the crowd standing around me will believe that you sent me.”

The chief priests planned to kill Lazarus too.

Many rulers believed in Jesus. However, they wouldn’t admit it publicly because the Pharisees would have thrown them out of the synagogue.
