9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
