John 11:16-35 Jesus In His Humanity

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.  Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;  and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.  Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.  Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”  Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”  Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,  and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”  She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.” When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”  And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him. Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.  Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly and went out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.  Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,  and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept.

Events in the Bible are not without purpose.  When Jesus heard of Lazarus' illness, he remained away for two more days and Lazarus died.   Now Jesus returns to a hostile Judea and witnesses the lamenting of Martha and Mary and their family and friends over Lazarus passing.  Jesus knew that Lazarus passing was so that He would raise him from the dead which is a sign that Jesus is indeed God.  But Jesus was moved by the sorrow of the people and in particular Mary and the Bible reports that Jesus wept.  You may ask why He wept.  It is evidence that He is also truly man and has all of the emotions of a man.  His title is Son of Man, but also Son of God.
