Commentary on John 11:53
From this day forward, the Sanhedrin formally plotted Jesus' death. Lazarus' resurrection became the tipping point—the greatest sign producing the greatest opposition. The phrase 'took counsel together' indicates official action, moving from occasional hostility to systematic conspiracy. This demonstrates the hardness of human hearts: even resurrection evidence can harden rather than soften rejection. Their plot fulfills prophecy (Ps 2:2) and divine plan. What appears as human initiative serves God's redemptive purposes established before time.
