1. Lazarus - In John 11:1-44, we read about the story of Lazarus, who fell ill and eventually died. Jesus arrived four days after Lazarus had died, causing some to question why he had not come sooner to heal him.
2. Jairus - In Mark 5:21-43, we read about Jairus, a synagogue leader whose daughter was gravely ill. Jairus begged Jesus to come and heal her, but by the time Jesus arrived at Jairus' house, the girl had already died.
3. Martha and Mary - In John 11:1-44, we also see Martha and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus, experiencing lateness when Jesus arrived after their brother had already been dead for four days. They expressed their disappointment in Jesus not arriving sooner to prevent Lazarus' death.
4. The disciples - In Matthew 26:36-46, we see Jesus asking his disciples to stay awake and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane. However, the disciples fell asleep multiple times, causing Jesus to express his disappointment in their lateness in supporting him during his time of need.

1. Moses:
- Exodus 3:1: "Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God." (Moses delayed going up the mountain to receive God's call because he was busy caring for the flock.)
2. Abraham:
- Genesis 16:16: "Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram." (Abraham waited until he was 86 years old to have a son, despite God's promise that he would be the father of many nations.)
3. Ruth:
- Ruth 1:22: "So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, coming back from the country of Moab." (Ruth delayed returning to Bethlehem with Naomi until after the barley harvest was over.)
4. Zechariah:
- Luke 1:23-24: "When his time of service was ended, he went to his home. After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, 'This is the way the Lord has dealt with me. In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my reproach among the people.'" (Zechariah was delayed in conceiving a child with Elizabeth because he doubted God's word.)
5. The disciples on the road to Emmaus:
- Luke 24:21: "But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened." (The disciples were delayed in recognizing Jesus because they were slow to believe in his resurrection.)
