João 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".

João 11:48 In-Context

46 Mas alguns deles foram contar aos fariseus o que Jesus tinha feito.
47 Então os chefes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus convocaram uma reunião do Sinédrio.“O que estamos fazendo?”, perguntaram eles. “Aí está esse homem realizando muitos sinais milagrosos.
48 Se o deixarmos, todos crerão nele, e então os romanos virão e tirarão tanto o nosso lugar como a nossa nação”.
49 Então um deles, chamado Caifás, que naquele ano era o sumo sacerdote, tomou a palavra e disse: “Nada sabeis!
50 Não percebeis que vos é melhor que morra um homem pelo povo, e que não pereça toda a nação”.
