Section 11:45–57: The Jewish leaders plotted to kill Jesus

This section tells that many Jews who saw Jesus raise Lazarus believed in him. But others reported him to the Pharisees. The council met to discuss what to do with Jesus. They were afraid that if everyone believed in Jesus, the Roman government would destroy the Jewish temple and nation. The high priest Caiaphas said that it was better for Jesus to die than the whole nation be destroyed. That was true, but not in the way that Caiaphas meant. Jesus’ death would bring salvation to all people.

Jesus no longer walked around in public and stayed in Ephraim. When people went to Jerusalem for the Passover feast, they looked for Jesus, thinking that he would not go there. That was because the chief priests and Pharisees had ordered people to tell them if they knew where Jesus was. Then they could arrest him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Jewish council decided to kill Jesus

The plot to kill Jesus

Paragraph 11:45–48

The Jews from Judea responded in different ways to the miracle that they just saw. Some believed, and others reported it to the Jewish authorities. The authorities discussed the matter in their council.

11:46a

But some of them went to the Pharisees

But some of those people went to the Pharisees
However, some others of them went and reported to the religious leaders, the Pharisees,

But: The word But introduces a contrast. While some people who saw the miracle believed, others reported what happened to the Pharisees. They were opposed to Jesus.

some of them went to the Pharisees: The phrase some of them refers to some of the Jewish people from Judea. They were not among the “many” Jewish people who believed in Jesus (11:45a). These Jews reported what Jesus did to the Pharisees. These Pharisees had not been there and were opposed to Jesus.

the Pharisees: The Pharisees were a Jewish religious group or party. It was very important to them to obey all of the Jewish religious laws very carefully and exactly. Here are some ways to translate this word:

Transliterate the word Pharisees according to the sounds of your language and indicate that it refers to people. For example:
Farisi members
Parise adherents
Transliterate the word Pharisees and indicate that it refers to a group of people with certain beliefs. For example:
people belonging to the Farise religious group
members of the religious group called the Farasi

See how you translated this in 1:24 and see the note there.

11:46b

and told them what Jesus had done.

and told them what Jesus did.
that Jesus brought/raised someone back from the dead.

told them what Jesus had done: The people who went to the Pharisees told the Pharisees that Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead. Here are other ways to translate this expression:

reported what he had done (REB)

told them about Jesus’ actions/deeds

what Jesus had done: The Greek text here uses the plural form for what (“what things”), but it mainly refers to Jesus’ raising of Lazarus. See how you translated “what Jesus did” in 11:45b.

General Comment on 11:46

In some languages it may be natural to use direct speech for what these people told the Pharisees. If you do that, it may be necessary to supply information about what Jesus did. For example:

and told them, “Jesus has raised a man from the dead.”

Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem

Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
