“Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.”
John 11:47 (KJV)
Commentary on John 11:47
The chief priests and Pharisees convene the Sanhedrin, acknowledging Jesus performs 'many miracles' (literally 'signs'). Their question 'What do we?' reveals political calculation, not spiritual inquiry. They don't dispute the miracles' reality but debate the response. This demonstrates hardened hearts—even undeniable evidence doesn't penetrate willful unbelief. Their concern is pragmatic (maintaining power) not theological (seeking truth). This validates Jesus' teaching about those who wouldn't believe even if one rose from the dead (Luke 16:31).
