John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 11:48

All men will believe — And receive him as the Messiah. And this will give such umbrage to the Romans that they will come and subvert both our place — Temple; and nation — Both our Church and state. Were they really afraid of this? Or was it a fair colour only? Certainly it was no more. For they could not but know, that he that raised the dead was able to conquer the Romans.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 11:48

If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and (h) take away both our place and nation.

(h) That is, take away from us by force: for at that time, though the high priest's authority was greatly lessened and weakened, yet there was some type of government left among the Jews.
