Church Fathers on John 11:47

Such a miracle as this should have drawn forth wonder and praise. But they make it a reason of plotting against His life: Then gathered the chief priests and, Pharisees a council, and said, What do we?

Theophylact · 11th century

But they had no thought of believing. The miserable men only consulted how they might hurt and kill Him, not how themselves might be saved from death. What do we? For this Man does many miracles.

Augustine · 4th century

Him of whose divinity they had received such certain proofs, they call only a man.
