John 11:28-37

Jesus Weeps

28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, ¹“The Teacher is here and is calling for you. ”

29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

31 When the Jews ²who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, ³“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. ”

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he ⁴was deeply moved^[a] in his spirit and ⁵greatly troubled.

34 And he said, “Where have you laid him? ”They said to him, “Lord, come and see. ”

35 ⁶Jesus wept.

36 So the Jews said, “See ⁷how he loved him! ”

37 But some of them said, “Could not he ⁸who opened the eyes of the blind man ⁹also have kept this man from dying? ”
