Jesus arrives in Bethany four days after his friend's death — too late, everyone assumes. In this episode of Back Road Disciples, we unpack the burial customs, mourning rituals, and cultural expectations that shaped how the first readers understood this scene, including a surprising twist in the Greek behind "Jesus wept." Plus: how a modern medical term traces its name straight back to this story, another joke of the week and trivia that we bet you didn't know!
