Verse 9
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Ver. 9. And they came, &c. ] Do the Pharisees what they could to the contrary. Truth may be oppressed, not suppressed, Impii sunt piorum εργοδιωκται . This people (like those branches of palm-trees borne by them, Joh 12:13 ) spread and sprang up the more they were held under by the high priests. ( Βαια, παρα το Βαινειν , a scandendo. )
But that they might see Lazarus ] And fish somewhat out of him concerning the future estate of the dead. But here they lost their labour.
