John 10:40 places Jesus on the eastern side of the Jordan River, a location confirmed by John 1:28 ("Bethabara beyond Jordan"), and because of these passages, a widely held tradition says that John baptised on the eastern shore of the Jordan.

From this, the story implies that Jesus was at least one full day's walk away from Lazarus. In John 11:2, Jesus receives word that Lazarus is sick John 11:6 still only refers to Lazarus as sick, although Lazarus could have died soon after the messengers left Mary and Martha. Is it possible to determine (or intelligently guess at) Jesus' location at the time of John 11:6, when he received word about Lazarus? John 10:40 has Jesus at the place where John had been baptizing in the early days, which I thought, because of John 1:28, was at (or near) Bethany.

Is it safe to make such assumptions about the elapsed time of this story? If so, then Jesus was at least one day (about 20 miles) away from Bethany when he received word. If Lazarus had died after the messengers left Bethany, then Jesus would have been even farther away from Bethany when he received word. That is, if Lazarus had died as soon as the messengers left Bethany, then there are two days of travel time involved: one day for them to reach Jesus, and one day for Jesus to reach Bethany, for a total of four days. So when the messengers reached Jesus in 11:6, it seems that Jesus must have been at least one full day's travel from Bethany. When Jesus reaches Bethany, Lazarus has been dead for four days (11:17).

True, Right, Better: A Defense of the Christian Worldview A New Book by Dr.John 11:6 has Jesus receiving word of Lazarus' illness and then staying put for two days.

Why do Christians hypocritically reject the supposedly inspired Talmud of the Jews? 57 views.

Why do Jews and Christians have no manuscripts from before the exile, and why no copies of the Aramaic gospel from AD 30? 57 views.

The assembly of the Jews nearly rejected the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Ezekiel because they contradicted the Law.

Jesus borrowed from II Esdras 1:30-33, making it inspired Scripture.

Prophets such as Isaiah added his own fantasies into God’s word, such as Isaiah 45:14 and 60:12, which clearly were never fulfilled.

Therefore, the idea of the crucifixion is bogus, as God would not ask Jesus to do this.

1 Samuel 15:22 says that God does not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

The four gospels are unreliable because they were written in Greek, but Jesus spoke in Aramaic.

Any part of a year was counted as a year for the length of a king’s reign. If a king ruled fourteen months, but those fourteen months happened to cover the last month of one year and the first month of a third year, they would say that the king ruled for three years. It is worth noting that the Jews also counted the number of years of reign of one of their kings in a similar same way. Given the common use among Jews of the idiom “three days and three nights” to represent any part of three days, this is almost certainly the explanation of Jesus’ statement about the time between his death his resurrection. Friday is day 1, Saturday is day 2 and Sunday is day 3, therefore the Jews would say “three days and three nights.” This Jewish idiom explains the biblical statements. There is debate among scholars and among faithful conservative Christians over this, but I believe most likely the correct answer is that for the Jews “three days and three nights” was an expression which literally meant any part of three twenty-four-hour days.

It seems you have this issue pretty much figured out for yourself. A Friday’s crucifixion does not seem to allow for three nights.

However, a Thursday’s crucifixion does allow for three nights (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night). If Jesus were crucified on Thursday, He would have been buried for four days because Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday would have been counted as days. However, I know that the Jews counted part of a day as a whole day. Those who propose He was crucified on a Thursday say that He could not have been buried for three nights if He had been crucified on a Friday and had risen on Sunday morning. Jesus did say that he would be buried for three days and nights. Tradition teaches that it was a Friday, and we see that tradition in the day called Good Friday. I had heard about some debates on whether Jesus was crucified on a Thursday or on a Friday. I have already answered this question at the site. Just to understand: The Bible says Jesus spent three days and three nights in the tomb” However, if he died on Friday, it only spent two nights and two days in the tomb.
