Why Did Jesus Wait Two Days Before Going to Lazarus John 11

✦✝ AMEN UNCOVERED ✝✦ Why did Jesus wait two days after hearing Lazarus was sick? In John 11, Mary and Martha send a message that asks for nothing, and Jesus stays where he is. This video walks through the text to separate what John says outright, what the story reasonably suggests, and what comes only from later tradition. We look at John 11:4–5, the small Greek word "oun" (so/therefore), the road back to Judea, Martha's confession, "Jesus wept," the stone at the tomb, "Lazarus, come out," and the council that meets afterward.
