<p>11:17 <i>So when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in his tomb for four days</i>- &quot;He found&quot; could possibly suggest that He was unaware Lazarus had been dead so long. Perhaps He had intended to perform the resurrection three and not four days after the death of Lazarus, in order to encourage them all to believe that He too after three days would rise again. But see on :4 <i>That thereby the Son of God may be glorified. </i>The period could refer to two full days and two part days.</p>
