John 11:46 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

These Jews had the same means for believing the others had; they had heard the same words from Christ, they had seen the same miracle wrought by Christ. Whence is it that any of the other Jews believed? These, instead of believing, run to the Pharisees to accuse him. Can any account be given of this, unless from the freedom of Divine grace, showing mercy where God will show mercy? Though possibly the former wickedness, of these Jews was the cause of God's not giving that grace to them which he gave to others.

John 11:46

46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
