Matthew Poole and continuators on John 11:46

46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done .

These Iews had the same means for believing, the others had; they had heard the same words from Christ, they had seen the same miracle wrought by Christ. Whence is it that any of the other Iews believed? these, instead of believing, run to the Pharisees to accuse him. Can any account be given of this, unless from the freedom of Divine Grace, shewing mercy where God will shew mercy? Tho possibly the former wickedness of these Iews, was the cause of Gods not giving that Grace to them, which he gave to others.
