João 11:33 Meaning and Commentary

John 11:33

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping
At his feet, who, for sorrow and grief of heart, could say no more to him; but having expressed these words, burst out into floods of tears:

and the Jews also weeping, which came with her;
either through sympathy with her, or hypocritically:

he groaned in the spirit;
in his human soul; and which shows, that he had a real human soul, subject to passions, though sinless ones. The word signifies an inward motion of the mind, through indignation and anger; and it may be partly at the weakness of Mary's faith, and at her immoderate sorrow; and partly at the hypocrisy of the Jews: or else this inward groaning was through grief, sympathizing with Mary, and her friends, his human soul being touched with a fellow feeling of their griefs and sorrows:

and was troubled;
or troubled himself; threw himself into some forms and gestures of sorrow, and mourning, as lifting up his eyes, wringing his hands, and changing the form of his countenance.

João 11:33 In-Context

31 Então os judeus que estavam com Maria em casa e a consolavam, vendo-a levantar-se apressadamente e sair, seguiram-na, pensando que ia ao sepulcro para chorar ali.

32 Tendo, pois, Maria chegado ao lugar onde Jesus estava, e vendo-a, lançou-se-lhe aos pés e disse: Senhor, se tu estiveras aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.

33 Jesus, pois, quando a viu chorar, e chorarem também os judeus que com ela vinham, comoveu-se em espírito, e perturbou-se,

34 e perguntou: Onde o puseste? Responderam-lhe: Senhor, vem e vê.

35 Jesus chorou.
