Entonces Caifás, que era el sumo sacerdote de aquel año, les dijo: "Vosotros no sabéis nada, ni os dais cuenta de que conviene que un hombre muera por el pueblo, y no que toda la nación perezca". Juan 11:49, 50.

La mayoría de los sacerdotes eran saduceos y no creían en la resurrección de los muertos. Ahora se había puesto de manifiesto su ignorancia. Por otro lado, aunque los fariseos creían en la resurrección, estaban ansiosos de detener la influencia de Jesús.

But in this particular strip, Calvin is just fuming mad. When bedtime comes, he asks his dad, Why can’t I stay up late? You guys can! And there’s no answer. It’s not fair!
