Context of John 11:45

43When He had said this, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44Out came the man who had been dead, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and release him.” So then, many of the Jews who had come to [be with] Mary and who were eyewitnesses to what Jesus had done, believed in Him. 46But some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47So the chief priests and Pharisees convened a council [of the leaders in Israel], and said, “What are we doing? For this man performs many signs (attesting miracles).

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 45Many of the Jews - believed on him - They saw that the miracle was incontestable; and they were determined to resist the truth no longer.

Tears of compassion resemble those of…Read the comment

Jesus was famous in Galilee for healing and raising the dead (see Matthew 9:24–26; 10:8; 11:5). Now he had brought this power to Judea.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 45-4645-46. many ... which ... had seen ... believed ... But some ... went ... to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done--the two classes which continually reappear in the Gospel history; nor is there ever any great work of God which does not produce both.
