(46) But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees--i.e., necessarily, some of those who had been with Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, and had believed. But why did they then go and tell the Pharisees? It is contrary to their position as believers to think that they did this as informers against Jesus. What they have seen has carried conviction to their own minds, and they report it to the Pharisees, either as a proof that He really was the Messiah, or in any case to demand from them a judgment on the facts which they report.John 11:46 exposes the human heart in the face of undeniable divine power. Rather than embracing the One who raises the dead, “some” rush to protect their religious system, carrying news of the miracle straight to the Pharisees. Their choice illustrates the sobering truth that witnessing Jesus’ works demands a response; neutrality is impossible. Faith welcomes the Light, while unbelief seeks to extinguish it—even as the very act of opposition broadcasts His glory. Parallel Commentaries ...
