168:3.2 At one o'clock the next day, Friday, the [[Sanhedrin]] met to deliberate further on the question, " What shall we do with [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]? "[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_11] After more than two hours of [[discussion]] and acrimonious [[debate]], a certain [[Pharisee]] presented a resolution calling for [[Jesus]]' [[immediate]] [[death]], proclaiming that he was a menace to all [[Israel]] and [[formally]] [[committing]] the [[Sanhedrin]] to the [[decision]] of [[death]], without [[trial]] and in defiance of all precedent.

168:3.3 [[Repetition|Time and again]] had this august body of [[Jewish]] [[leaders]] [[decreed]] that [[Jesus]] be [[apprehended]] and brought to [[trial]] on charges of [[blasphemy]] and numerous other [[accusations]] of flouting the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_law Jewish sacred law].

But this resolution did not come to a [[vote]] since fourteen members of the [[Sanhedrin]] resigned in a body when such an unheard-of [[action]] was [[proposed]]. While these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resignation resignations] were not formally acted upon for almost two weeks, this [[group]] of fourteen withdrew from the [[Sanhedrin]] on that day, never again to sit in the [[council]].

168:3.4 The following week [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus Lazarus] and his sisters were [[summoned]] to appear before the [[Sanhedrin]].
