What does John 11:33 mean?
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.
