John 11:28-37 - Jesus Weeps

²⁸ After saying this, she left and called her sister Mary and said to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

²⁹ And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus. ³⁰ (Now Jesus had not yet arrived in town, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him [i.e., probably on the road near the edge of town]). ³¹ When Martha's Jewish friends, who had been comforting her at her house, saw Mary getting up quickly and leaving, they followed her, thinking she was going to the grave site to mourn.

³² So, when Mary arrived at where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell down at His feet and said, "Lord, if [only] you had been here, my brother would not have died."

³³ When Jesus saw her and her Jewish friends, who had come with her, crying, He felt distressed in His spirit and [visibly] troubled [Note: This last word means to shake with emotion, and seems to have been caused by His deep sympathy for these grieving people], ³⁴ and said, "Where have they laid his body?" They answered Him, "Lord, come and see."

³⁵ Jesus shed tears.

³⁶ [Some of] the Jewish friends then said, "Look how [much] he loved him!" [See verse 3]. ³⁷ But others of them said, "Could not this man, who restored sight to a blind person, have kept Lazarus from dying?"
