John 11:28 – 37 Jesus wept


And having said this, Martha went and, called Mary her sister aside: ‘The teacher is here and is calling for  you.’ When she heard this, she got up quickly and began to go to him. (Jesus had not yet come to the village. He was still in the place where Martha had met him. )

Then some of the Judeans who were with her in the house and  had been comforting her, seeing Mary quickly get up and leave, followed her – thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there. 

When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ 

When Jesus saw her crying and the Judeans who had come with her crying, he became angry in spirit and he himself was upset.

And he said ‘Where have you put him?’ They said to him ‘Sir, come and see.’ 

 Jesus began to weep. Then the Judeans said ‘See how he loved him.’

Some of them said ‘Could not this one who opened the eyes of the blind have done something so that this man did not die?’

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
