John 11:37-57 But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died?

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁷ But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! ⁴² And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go! ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed. ⁵¹ And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed. ⁵³ Then from that day they consulted together how they might kill him. ⁵⁴ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples. ⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.
