SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:28–37: Jesus wept

In this section, Mary came out to greet Jesus. She also told him that if he had been there, Lazarus would still be alive. Jesus saw her weeping and was disturbed and wept himself. Some said that that showed his love for Lazarus. But others wondered why he did not heal him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus saw Mary crying and cried himself

Mary went to meet Jesus

Paragraph 11:32–35

Mary met with Jesus and spoke to him about her grief, as Martha had done.

11:34a

“Where have you put him?” He asked.

“Where have you^(plur) placed/buried him?” he asked.
He asked them, “Where did you^(plur) put his/the body?”

Where have you put him?: Jesus asked where Lazarus’ tomb was. He probably asked Martha and Mary because Mary last spoke and the ones who answer in 11:34b call him “Lord.” The mourners had placed Lazarus’ body in a cave tomb. It was not the custom to bury bodies underground. See 11:17. If you use a word meaning “buried,” check that people will not think that Lazarus was placed under the ground. Here are other ways to translate this question:

Where did you put Lazarus? (GW)

Where have you put his body? (CEV)

He asked: This phrase introduces a question Jesus asked the mourners. In some languages it is more natural to say:

he asked them (NLT)

11:34b

“Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

“Come^(sing) with us^(excl) and see, Lord,” they replied.
The sisters said, “Lord, come^(sing) and we^(excl) will show you^(sing).”

Come and see: The word Come here implies “come with us^(excl).” The sisters wanted to take Jesus with them to the place where Lazarus was buried.

Lord: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Lord is the same as in 11:3b, 11:21, and 11:32c. Translate it the same way in all these verses.

they answered: The pronoun they probably refers to the sisters Martha and Mary. Here is another way to translate this expression:

The sisters answered him

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ποῦ τεθείκατε αὐτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν Ποῦ τεθείκατε αὐτόν Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Κύριε ἔρχου καί ἴδε)

Jesus is referring to putting Lazarus’ dead body in a tomb as laying him down. This is a polite way of referring to something unpleasant and accurately describes the Jewish burial practice of laying a dead body on a table inside the tomb. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a different polite way of referring to this or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [Where have you entombed him?]
