The Sanhedrin's Dilemma: Jesus' Influence and Threat

The Sanhedrin fears Jesus' growing influence and seeks to strategize his arrest to maintain their power.

### The Dilemma of Jesus: Strategies and Concerns of the Sanhedrin
* 🤔 Many, including myself, have reacted too quickly to the words of Jesus without considering the **entirety of his teachings and deeds**.
* 🏃 We must act swiftly, as we know that "**your father could at least get us to Lazarus**," and **time is of the essence**.
* ⚖ The only viable solution is to ensure his **immediate arrest and execution**, but we must navigate the **legal limitations** that prevent us from carrying out such actions ourselves.
* 📜 With Herod Antipas and his court set to arrive in Jerusalem for the festival, we need to be **strategic in our actions** to **avoid provoking Rome**.
* 👻 The miraculous signs attributed to Jesus, including the rumored **resurrection of Lazarus**, raise alarming questions about his influence and the potential **threat he poses to our authority**.
* 📖 I propose to investigate the claims surrounding Jesus, particularly whether he identifies himself as **Elijah**, as this could have **profound implications for our faith and governance**.
* 🕊 Ultimately, we must uphold our laws and faith, but we must also be cautious of letting **Jesus's growing popularity lead to a revolt** that could **endanger our positions and the nation itself**.
* 🔮 "A man will die for the people so that our nation will not perish," reflects the prophecy that we must consider as we navigate this **delicate situation**.

whether by sorcery or necromancy or other dark arts, we can no longer deny that these so-called signs have been escalating in performance, each more outlandish and hysterical than the one before. We say they are just performances, but what about the resurrection of one Lazarus of Bethany? There is no proof, and rumors like this are exactly why this Rogue is a pox to this entire institution. Has no one in this room considered the implications if this man was indeed brought back from the dead? That's what we're doing right now. No, we are strategizing how to keep the status quo and hoping these signs cannot be ignored. On this issue, I am with Gadera. Jesus of Nazareth is not Elijah the Tishbite. Only Elijah can raise people from the dead. But if he is Elijah, honored Nicodemus encountered him in Capernaum and observed. Sit down, Yousef. Nicodemus is recovering from illness, but I am certain he would agree. You do not know what you say. My own father was at

the Shiva for Lazarus and witnessed the miracle. Everyone please listen. The possibly false teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and purported signs are the very reason I came to study in Jerusalem in the first place. I have the most complete record of his words and deeds. This matter of Elijah, it bears investigation. I will go to Bethany and ask him myself if he claims to be Elijah. You don't have any more questions. The man claimed to be God at the Feast of Dedication. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him. I'm seeing it firsthand even now, and Rome will want to prevent a revolt. Pilate will come and take away our positions here in Sanhedrin and then destroy our entire nation. Exactly, this is the future we can expect. I please Caius, may I go good. You know nothing at all. I have already been given a prophecy from God, and I believe it is about this. Exactly, the prophecy is that a man will die for the people so that our nation will not.

perish. This may be that man. We will hand him over ourselves before there is an uprising. Rome will not destroy us; they will be grateful. The only answer is immediate arrest and execution. As I did not say immediate, we are not legally allowed to execute anyone with the exception of a ritual stoning within the temple courts. If his death is to be public and a spectacle, it must be done by Rome. If we move too quickly, they won't recognize the favor we've done them. How Herod Antipas and his court will be arriving in Jerusalem for the festival soon. They'll be attending the annual state dinner with Pilot's Administration. I'll see to it that P is brought up. He is pathetic. And also, we ought not to be endorsing his attendance at the State Dinner. Making sure our voices heard is not the same as endorsing it. Sh. I. I will make sure a letter is waiting at Herod's compound in the city when he arrives. This meeting is adjourned.

this is no longer about God to them. Yousef, you're just now noticing. I have recently suspected some of them to be utterly void of conscience, goodwill, or true devotion to Torah, but this proves it beyond all doubt. What are you going to do? Your father was at Bethany for the raising, yes. He was a close friend of Lazarus. Could he arrange a meeting with Jesus? I've observed the man. I've confronted him, even prayed with him, but never conversed openly without an agenda. You don't have an agenda now. If it is true that he has power over life and death, then surely must be. My father is a rational man, not given to sensationalism. I simply want to know what his intentions are. After all, we want the same things, don't we? To uphold the faith and honor God's law. I wonder if it's as simple as that. I'm not suggesting any of this is simple, but we and hedin have been only reactionary toward Jesus. Perhaps all of

us, myself included, have been too quick to take offense to his words. I had not considered the sum of his teachings and deeds is worthy of a fair and open-minded inquiry. Sanhedrin is well beyond that. Your father could at least get us to Lazarus, right? That much I know. Yes, and let's go to him immediately. There is little time to waste.
