Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 11:47

The chief priests and Pharisees were a great part of that great council amongst the Jews, which went under the name of the sanhedrim; and this (probably) was the council they gathered; for, John 11:49, we read, that Caiaphas, the high priest, the standing president of that court, was amongst them. The miracles wrought by Christ were the things that disturbed them, and they reflect upon themselves for conniving so long at him: what they should have improved (viz. the miracles which he wrought)... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 11:46-57

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 11:46. But some of them, etc.—It is possible to misjudge their motives; but in view of John 19:22 and John 10:31 their action can hardly be viewed as friendly.John 11:48. The Romans, etc.—If Christ were to be raised to the position of leader of the people the jealous Roman government might take away the last vestige of their power. “They feared temporal loss and incurred eternal, and did not even escape the temporal” (Augustine).

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 11:1-57

John 11:0 In selecting this word we are struck with the frequency of its occurrence in this chapter. There is: I. The "If" of wisdom. Jesus answered "If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not." The Lord is laying down a great philosophy of work, he is indicating that there are times and seasons for labour; and that not only is work to be done, but done at the proper time the light for labour, the darkness for rest. II. The "If" of hope shadowed by fear. "Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well."... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 11:47-48

John 11:47-48 The Retributive Character of Divine Justice Observe: I. That men who set what they foolishly count their interest against their convictions determined to stifle the latter lest they should sacrifice the former these allow that Christ wrought miracles, but persist in rejecting Him for fear of being overtaken by temporal calamity. We are apt to regard such a case as that of the chief priests and Pharisees as standing wholly by itself, and not to be paralleled by any amongst... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 11:1-57

The gospel according to John, chapter 11.Now we remember that John is carefully picking out certain incidents in the life of Jesus by which he might prove that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, bringing people to a faith in Him, as such, that through that faith they might have the life of Christ imparted to them. And he testifies there were many other things that Jesus did which he did not record, but these he recorded that you might believe. And so John is writing from a slant,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 11:1-57

John 11:2 . It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment. The allusion to this anointing is obscure. It could not be to the similar occurrence in Luke 7:0., for that was a woman of the city; and Mary Magdalene is distinguished from this Mary by two of the evangelists. Luke 10:39; Luke 24:10. John 20:1. See the note also on Matthew 26:7. John 11:9 . Are there not twelve hours in the day? Then, though the jews sought to stone the Saviour, he assigns a reason why we should go on... read more

Then gathered the chief priests ] Like unto this was the Council of Trent gathered on purpose to suppress Christ in his true worshippers, and carried by antichrist with such infinite guile and craft, without any sincerity, upright dealing and truth, as that themselves will even smile in the triumphs of their own wits (when they hear it but mentioned), as at a master... read more
