35 Jesus wept.

John 11:35 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:35

Jesus wept.
] As he was going along to the grave, see ( John 11:28 ) ; as he was meditating upon the state of his friend Lazarus, the distress his two sisters were in, and the greater damnation that would befall the Jews then present, who, notwithstanding the miracle, would not believe in him. This shows him to be truly and really man, subject to like passions, only without sin.

John 11:35 In-Context

33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,

34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?
