Why did Jesus delay his coming to see Lazarus until his friend was dead? What did first century Jews believe about the resurrection? Why is death called “sleep”? Was Jesus grieving, angry, or irritated? What does “Jesus wept” point to? What is the significance of Jesus being “the resurrection and the life”? These and other questions, Chad Bird addresses in this week’s video in Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes.
