John 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:10

But the chief priests
With the rest of the sanhedrim:

consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
as well as Jesus, and that for no other crime, but because he was raised from the dead by him; which shows what consciences these men had, and how horribly wicked they were; that they stopped at nothing, whereby they might satisfy their malice and envy, and secure their worldly interests and advantages.
