( N) 18 Now Bethany ( O) was less than two miles from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. ![]() But let us go to him.”ġ6 Then Thomas ( M) (also known as Didymus ) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” Jesus Comforts the Sisters of Lazarusġ7 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. ( L)ġ4 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe.

That isn't all that Jesus did listen to what happened next. The Bible tells us that when Jesus saw Mary weeping because her brother had died, He cried too. His sisters, Mary and Martha, sent word to Jesus and asked Him to come and heal Lazarus, but when Jesus arrived, Lazarus had already died. Jesus had a friend named Lazarus who became very sick.

It says, "While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears." (Hebrews 5:7 NLT) ![]() The Bible tells us that Jesus cried when He prayed for others. We all cry, don't we? Did you know that Jesus cried? The shortest verse in the entire Bible says, "Jesus wept." I know of at least three things that made Jesus cry.
