Did you notice that not only did the priests want to kill Jesus, they also wanted to kill Lazarus. After all, many people deserted the priests and believed in Jesus because, after Jesus raised him from the dead, many people believed in Jesus because Lazarus came back to life. These priests were something else, weren’t they. They wanted to keep their power and Jesus threatened this. Besides, a lot of people deserted them because of Lazarus.
It’s amazing what people will go through to retain their power. They’ll lie, cheat, steal, and kill to keep it. But here were the priests, the very people who should have known better, willing to do anything to get rid of Jesus and Lazarus.
Tomorrow, we’ll read Matthew 22 and Mark 12.
Until next time…
