About this episode
The episode discusses the Sanhedrin's response to Jesus raising Lazarus and their plot to kill Him as His influence grows.
In John 11:47–57, the chief priests and Pharisees convene the Sanhedrin in response to Jesus raising Lazarus, fearing that His growing influence will lead many to believe in Him and provoke Roman intervention against the nation. Caiaphas, the high priest, argues that it is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to perish. From that day forward, they plot to kill Him, prompting Jesus to withdraw to Ephraim with His disciples. As Passover approaches, many wonder whether He will appear.
