It's everyone's favorite subjects: narrative structure and Greek grammar! Looking at the chiastic (X-like matching of themes) structure of John 11, the glory of God in Lazarus' lack of death in 11:4-6 is matched by Lazarus walking out of the tomb. Therefore, the messenger warning Jesus of Lazarus' sickness is matched by messengers of the resurrection provoking Jesus' death.
Those who come to faith from the resurrection of Lazarus come to faith by Christ's action. We can see this from the grammatical structure of 11:45 where background information (the Jews "had come" and "had seen") are signaled by participles while the main verb is in the indicative mood ("Jesus did") and denotes what is most important. We can see this in the structure of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 where "go", "baptizing", and "teaching" are all participles in Greek (and therefore background information) meant to explain the primary command of "make disciples" (an imperative). Therefore, in John 11, John is highlighting faith coming from God's action over human action, although humans are still the people doing the believing.
We briefly talk about the gathering (synagogue) of the chief priests and Pharisees in a council (Sanhedrin). From the wording, it is difficult to say whether this is a formal or informal council, but we do know they are at a loss from what Christ has done. They act in unbelief, not faith.
