Many of the Jews, who were there when Lazarus
was raised from the dead accepted Jesus as their
Messiah. But others were stubborn and set in
their ways.

They went back to Jerusalem and reported the
miracle and its results to the rulers of the Jews.
The chief priests and the Pharisees got together to
see what they should do.

They were angry but could't deny the miracle;
yet they wouldn't believe in Jesus. They debated
on what to do. This miracle was going to make
Jesus very popular.
