9 When all the people12:9 Greek Jewish people; also in 12:11. heard of Jesus’ arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead. 10 Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too, 11 for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them12:11 Or had deserted their traditions; Greek reads had deserted. and believed in Jesus.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others12:17 Greek were testifying. about it. 18 That was the reason so many went out to meet him—because they had heard about this miraculous sign.
