Jesus wept

33 ¶ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 and said, "Where have ye laid him?" They said unto Him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, "Behold, how he loved him!"
37 And some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?"
38 Jesus therefore again, groaning in Himself, came to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus said, "Take ye away the stone." Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he hath been dead four days."
40 Jesus said unto her, "Said I not unto thee that if thou would believe, thou should see the glory of God?"
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.
42 And I knew that Thou hearest Me always, but because of the people who stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou hast sent Me."
43 And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, "Loose him, and let him go." (John 11:33-44)
