John 11:17 Wycliffe Bible (WYC)

And so Jesus came, and found him having then four days in the grave. [And so Jesus came, and found him having now four days in the grave.]

From Background Notes [BN] for July 14^th & 15^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

In the company of Jesus and each other, the disciples travel together for at least two days from Ainōn (see John 3:23), east of Jordan, to Bethany, two miles from Jerusalem.

The route they followed meant not only distance, but also elevation: approximately 1200 feet below sea level across the Jordan to 2200 feet above sea level near Jerusalem in Bethany. Does not geography mirror theology, as the disciples not only pass the miles, but also make the climb? [BN, 14]
