* Verse 48 reminds us that each person needs God to open their eyes to the truth of who he is - though the Pharisees saw him raise someone dead four days, they were unfazed as they sought only to protect their own "authority".
* Verses 49-52 incredible - Lead Pharisee says and even prophesied that Jesus should die, but not for sin, but as an appeasement to Roman rule and their enmity with the Jews.
GOING DEEPER
* Jesus' commentary in chapter 11 about life and resurrection shows himself as promise and fulfiller that John expounds in chapter 3:16-21.
EXPLORING THE MEANING

* Jesus gives testimony through raising Lazarus that the final Resurrection will indeed happen.
