Numbers 15:32-36 and John 12:9-11 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 15:32-36
PENALTY FOR BREAKING THE SABBATH
32  One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33  The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community.
34  They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him.
35  Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.”
36  So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

JOHN 12:9-11
THE PLOT AGAINST LAZARUS
9   When all the people heard of Jesus’ arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead.
10  Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too,
11  for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them and believed in Jesus.
