An Evil Response Noted

Text: John 11: 47-48

AN EVIL RESPONSE NOTED

Iniquity and evil are closely related. The decision of the Pharisees was incomprehensibly wicked.

“Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, ‘What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans w6ll come and take away both our place and nation.’”

John 11:47-48

1. “Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council”

a. The Sanhedrin Council was made up of about 70 leaders.
b. The following groups were found in the Council:
i. Chief priests
ii. Scribes
iii. Lawyers
iv. Sadducees
v. Elders
vi. The High Priest

2. “And said, ‘What shall we do? For this Man works many signs’”

a. There was an open discussion.
b. It revolved around Jesus whom they regarded as a mere “Man”.
c. But they did take note: Jesus had performed many signs.

3. What the Council did not consider:

a. That Jesus could be the Messiah.
b. That He could be the Saviour sent by the LORD.
c. That what He had taught was true.
d. That they needed to find faith in Him.

4. “If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him”

They feared that all in Israel would come to faith in Jesus.

5. “And the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation”

a. This was an unfounded fear.
b. The Council feared that the Romans might find them inept and incompetent.
c. The Romans might even take away their nation! This was nothing more than wild imagination!

经文：约翰福音 11：47-48

凶恶的反应

罪孽与邪恶是息息相关的。法利赛人作出了使人费解的邪恶决定。

“祭司长和法利赛人聚集公会，说：‘这人行好些神迹，我们怎么办呢？ 若这样由着他，人人都要信他，罗马人也要来夺我们的地土和我们的百姓。’”

《约翰福音 11：47-48》

1. “祭司长和法利赛人聚集公会”

a. 公会是由七十位领袖组成的
b. 公会之中有以下几组人：
i. 祭司长
ii. 文士
iii. 律法师
iv. 撒都该人
v. 长老
vi. 大祭司

2. “说：‘这人行好些神迹，我们怎么办呢？’”

a. 他们公开讨论
b. 讨论的主题围绕着耶稣，他们只把祂视为 ‘人’
c. 但他们有注意到耶稣行了好些神迹

3. 公会没有考虑到的：

a. 耶稣或许是弥赛亚
b. 祂可能是上帝差遣来的救主
c. 祂所教训的一切都是真实的
d. 他们必须在耶稣里找到信心

4. “若这样由着他，人人都要信他”

他们担心以色列的百姓都会来信耶稣。

5. “罗马人也要来夺我们的地土和我们的百姓。”

a. 这是毫无根据的顾虑
b. 公会担心罗马人会认为他们是无能力且不胜任的
c. 他们担心罗马人甚至会夺走他们的百姓！他们简直就是在胡乱想象！
