Summary

In John 11:53, the religious leaders gathered to discuss Jesus' growing popularity and the threat He posed to their authority. They feared that Jesus' influence would lead to a Roman crackdown, resulting in the loss of their nation and temple. This verse reveals the depth of their plotting against Jesus, showing their willingness to sacrifice Him for their own preservation. It sets the stage for the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion, highlighting the clash between His mission of salvation and the religious leaders' desire to maintain power.
