John 11:28-37 - Jesus Weeps

28 After she said this she went away and secretly called her sister Mary. She said: The teacher is here and calls you.

29 Mary got up quickly and went to him. 30 (Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village and was still at the place where Martha met him.) 31 The Jews were with her in the house, consoling her. They saw Mary get up quickly and leave. So they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32 When Mary saw Jesus she fell down at his feet. She said: Lord; if you had been here my brother would not have died.

33 Jesus groaned in his spirit and was troubled when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping. 34 He asked: Where have you laid him? They answered: Come and see Lord.

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said: Look how deeply he loved him! 37 Some of them said: This man opened the eyes of the blind. Could he have prevented this man from dying?
