¥John 12:9 (NIV) Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there
and came, not only because of him but also to see
Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief
priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on
account of him many of the Jews were going over to
Jesus and putting their faith in him.
¥Matt 28:11 (NIV) While the women were on their way, some of the guards went
into the city and reported to the chief priests everything
that had happened. 12 When the chief priests had met with
the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a
large sum of money, 13 telling them, ÒYou are to say, ÔHis
disciples came during the night and stole him away
while we were asleep.Õ Ó
