Early the next morning, He had come into the temple again, and all the people were gathering around Him. Having sat down, He began to teach them.

So when Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping too, He sighed in sympathy and shook with emotion,

and asked, "Where have you laid him?" They answered, "Lord, come and see."
