Contextual Overview
1Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, whom He raised out of the dead; 2they made, therefore, a dinner to Him there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together with Him; 3Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment. 4Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says, 5"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?" 6And he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying. 7Jesus, therefore, said, "Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming, 8for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me." 9Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews knew that He is there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they may also see Lazarus, whom He raised out of the dead; 10and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the chief priests,.... With the rest of the sanhedrim:
consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; as well as Jesus, and that for no other crime, but because he was raised from the dead by him; which shows what consciences these men had, and how horribly wicked they were; that they stopped at nothing, whereby they might satisfy their malice and envy, and secure their worldly interests and advantages.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That they might put Lazarus also to death - When men are determined not to believe the gospel, there is no end to the crimes to which they are driven. Lazarus was alive, and the evidence of his resurrection was so clear that they could not resist it. They could neither deny it, nor prevent its effect on the people. As it was determined to kill Jesus, so they consulted about the propriety of removing Lazarus first, that the number of his followers might be lessened, and that the death of Jesus might make less commotion. Unbelief stops at no crime. Lazarus was innocent; they could bring no charge against him; but they deliberately plotted murder rather than believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 12:10. Consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death. — As long as he lived they saw an incontestable proof of the Divine power of Christ; therefore they wished to put him to death, because many of the Jews, who came to see him through curiosity, became converts to Christ through his testimony. How blind were these men not to perceive that he who had raised him, after he had been dead four days, could raise him again though they had slain him a thousand times?
