Jesus Weeps at Lazarus' Tomb

John 11:17-37

Chapter 11
17 Therefore, Jesus came and found him already in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away. 19 But many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so that they might comfort them concerning the brother. 20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary was sitting in the house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 22 And now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. 23 Jesus says to her, "Your brother will rise." 24 Martha says to him, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live." 26 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? 27 She says to him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one coming into the world." 28 After she said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately, saying, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." 29 She, however, as she heard, got up quickly and was coming to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but he was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and comforting her, seeing Mary rise quickly and go out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Mary therefore, when she came to 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 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, was indignant in the Spirit and troubled himself, 34 And he said, "Where have you put him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." 35 Jesus wept. 36 Therefore the Jews were saying, "See how he loved him." 37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, the one who opened the eyes of the blind man, have done the same so that even this man might not die?"
