Yesterday we witnessed the greatest of all the miracles Jesus performed, i.e., raising Lazarus from the dead after being dead for 4 days. How did the people react?
We read that some Jews believed, but others went and told the religious leaders. (v46)

Now we see that these religious leaders were more interested in their own positions than acknowledge this amazing miracle. They knew it would mean more popularity for Jesus with people believing in him, which in turn would mean a Roman takeover of their temple (church) and nation (state). (v.47-48)

Oh what a sad thing to see when the leaders who should be protecting God’s people are more interested in protecting their own positions. And here they return good for evil.
