The Passing of the Third Day Excerpt This third scene begins with the statement that at the arrival of Jesus,  Lazarus had been dead four days ( 11:17 ). This notation was extremely important  to those familiar with Jewish burial customs. 312  The general belief was that the  spirit of the deceased hovered around the body for three days in anticipation of  some possible means of reentry into the body. But on the third day it was believed that the body lost its color and the spirit was locked out. Therefore the  spirit was obliged to enter the chambers of Sheol (the place of the dead). 313  The  passing of the third day, therefore, signaled the conclusion of the last modicum  of hope for the mourners.  More Borchert, Gerald L.  John 1–11 .
