How would you phrase: an overly-literal rendering of John 12:11?
a rendering of John 12:11 that gives the sense/meaning of the statement?

....the idiom "to go and . . . ." for _to grow, to become, to do more and more_.
Genesis 26:13

(NIV) The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.
(American KJV) And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
(Brenton Septuagint) And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.
(YLT) and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,
John 12:11

(Berean Literal Bible) because on account of him [Lazarus] many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
(NKJV) because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
(YLT) because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
John 12:11 (DLNT)

because many of the Jews were going-away and were believing in Jesus because of him.
It seems to me the sense is:
because of Lazarus' being raised from the dead by Jesus, more and more of the Yehudians were believing in Jesus (and that's why some wanted to assassinate Lazarus in addition to Jesus).
