John 11:35

35 ἐδάκρυσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.

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 Ἰησοῦς οὖν ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν κλαίουσαν καὶ τοὺς συνελθόντας αὐτῇ Ἰουδαίους κλαίοντας ἐνεβριμήσατο τῷ πνεύματι καὶ ἐτάραξεν ἑαυτόν,

34 καὶ εἶπεν · Ποῦ τεθείκατε αὐτόν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Κύριε, ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε.

35 ἐδάκρυσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.

36 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι · Ἴδε πῶς ἐφίλει αὐτόν.

37 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπαν · Οὐκ ἐδύνατο οὗτος ὁ ἀνοίξας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ τυφλοῦ ποιῆσαι ἵνα καὶ οὗτος μὴ ἀποθάνῃ;
