6: hWS OUN HKOUSEN... MEN EMEINEN... DUO hHMERAS...
    As therefore he hears... then he was remaining... two days...

7: KAI META TOUTO
    and after this

11: KAI META TOUTO
    and after this

17: hO IHSOUS... hEUREN AUTON TESSARAS hHMERAS HDH ECONTA
    Jesus... finds him four days already having...

Does this construction, KAI META TOUTO, mean 'and on the next day' in
this passage? This would make the accounting of days a simple matter
of 2 + 1 + 1 = the four in 11:17. Or, do more days possibly pass? Or
only the 2 specifically named? [?!?!] How does the time in this
passage account?

Thank-you...

George
