Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:10
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?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. But the chief priests , etc.] With the rest of the sanhedrim: consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death ; as well as Jesus, and that for no other crime, but because he was raised from the dead by him; which shows what consciences these men had, and how horribly wicked they were; that they stopped at nothing, whereby they might satisfy their malice and envy, and secure their worldly interests and advantages.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Christ had formerly blamed Martha for being troubled with much serving But she did not leave off serving, as some, who when found fault with for going too far in one way, peevishly run too far another way; sh still served, but within hearing of Christ's gracious words. Mary gav a token of love to Christ, who had given real tokens of his love to he and her family. God's Anointed should be our Anointed. Has God poure on him the oil of gladness above his fellows, let us pour on him the ointment of our best affections. In Judas a foul sin is gilded ove with a plausible pretence. We must not think that those do n acceptable service, who do it not in our way. The reigning love of money is heart-theft. The grace of Christ puts kind comments on piou words and actions, makes the best of what is amiss, and the most of what is good. Opportunities are to be improved; and those first an most vigorously, which are likely to be the shortest. To consult to hinder the further effect of the miracle, by putting Lazarus to death is such wickedness, malice, and folly, as cannot be explained, excep by the desperate enmity of the human heart against God. They resolve that the man should die whom the Lord had raised to life. The succes of the gospel often makes wicked men so angry, that they speak and ac as if they hoped to obtain a victory over the Almighty himself.
