Men Active for Destruction
John 11:47-53
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.…


Alas! if only this question had been: "What must we do to be saved?" But, like all ungodly men, they are, as says, more active in devising ways to cause destruction than to escape destruction. "What do we? — this man doeth many miracles!" What a fearful antithesis is here!

(R. Besser, D. D.)It is ever in the way of those who rule the earth to leave out of their reckoning Him who rules the universe.

(Cowper.)
