Juan 11:48 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:48

If we let him thus alone
Going about from place to place, teaching the people, and doing such miracles:

all men will believe on him;
the whole nation will receive him as the Messiah, and proclaim him their king, and yield a cheerful obedience to all his commands:

the Romans will come;
against us, with their powerful armies; interpreting the setting him up as Messiah, to be an instance of rebellion against Caesar, and his government:

and take away both our place and nation;
that is, will destroy the temple, their holy place, the place of their religion and worship; and their city, the place of their habitation, and lay waste their country; and take away from them that little share of power and government they had, and strip them both of their civil and religious privileges: the Persic version renders it, "they will take away our place, and make a decree against our religion".

Juan 11:48 In-Context

46 Pero algunos de ellos fueron a ver a los fariseos y les contaron lo que Jesús había hecho.
47 Entonces los jefes de los sacerdotes y los fariseos convocaron a una reunión del Consejo.—¿Qué vamos a hacer? —dijeron—. Este hombre está haciendo muchas señales milagrosas.
48 Si lo dejamos seguir así, todos van a creer en él, y vendrán los romanos y acabarán con nuestro lugar sagrado, e incluso con nuestra nación.
49 Uno de ellos, llamado Caifás, que ese año era el sumo sacerdote, les dijo:—¡Ustedes no saben nada en absoluto!
50 No entienden que les conviene más que muera un solo hombre por el pueblo, y no que perezca toda la nación.
