John 11:28-37

Jesus Weeps

28 And [when she] had said this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, saying, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

29 So that one, when she heard [it], got up quickly and went to him.

30 (Now Jesus has not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha went to meet him.)

31 So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, [when they] saw Mary--that she stood up quickly and went out--followed her, [because they] thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.

32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was [and] saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

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

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

35 Jesus wept.

36 So the Jews were saying, "See how he loved him!"

37 But some of them said, "Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do [something] so that this man also would not have died?"
