Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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 11:36–37

The mourners who were present saw how much Jesus had loved Lazarus. Some of them wondered why Jesus did not heal Lazarus.

11:36

Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

¶ Then the people from Judea said to each other, “You^(plur) can see how much Jesus loved Lazarus.”
¶ The people/mourners then said, “Jesus certainly loved Lazarus very much!”

Then: This word introduces the result of Jesus’ tears, so many English versions translate this word as “So.”

the Jews said: The phrase the Jews refers to the people who had come to comfort Mary and Martha. These are the same Jews that were mentioned in 11:19, 31 and 33. They spoke to each other. For example:

The Judeans said to one another…

See how He loved him!: This clause is a command. It gives the statement emphasis. The people were saying that Jesus had loved Lazarus very much. They saw his tears and realized that he had loved Lazarus. There are two ways to translate this clause:

Use a command. For example:
See how much he loved him! (GNT)
See how much he loved Lazarus. (CEV)
Use a strong statement. For example:
You can see that he loved Lazarus a lot.
Jesus certainly loved Lazarus.

Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem

Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
