John 11:45 - 12:19

Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
In John 11:45-12:19, the speaker discusses the lack of faith exhibited by the Jews towards Jesus despite Mary's witness of his miracles. Caiaphas' prophecy of Jesus' death and its significance as a prediction from an unlikely source is also explored. The speaker notes that Jesus' inclusion of Lazarus in his message was a primary reason for his targeting by those who sought to eliminate him. Finally, the speaker touches on Jesus' stance as a non-revolutionary figure who did not oppose paying tribute to Caesar.
