In this study of John 11:45-57, we explore the aftermath of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. While many believed in Jesus because of this miraculous sign, others reported it to the Pharisees, triggering a meeting of the council. Caiaphas, the high priest, prophesies that it’s better for one man to die for the people than for the nation to be destroyed, unknowingly foreshadowing Jesus' sacrificial death. This moment solidifies the Jewish leaders’ intent to kill Jesus, marking a turning point in the Gospel of John. The tension builds as the Passover approaches, setting the stage for the culmination of Jesus’ mission.
